These risks don't go decrease the more they are cooked.

Mmm. Of course size matters! …that’s why thermometers are essential. :)

And then they go touch their eyes... not that I would ever do such a thing. Except most days on the subway. Haven't been sick in a long time. And wouldn't any time estimate vary greatly based on the size of the burger? A fat hand-packed one needs way more time than those skinny auto-pressed ones often found ready-made. I'd bet some of those skinny ones would be fine at 3 min a side on a hot grill. Whiny bloggers ;-) Bah, most people’s hands are probably dirtier than the meat.
