The word orange came from the tree the fruit grew on, not the fruit or the colour. Before that an orange called the 'fruit from orange tree' which just got shortened down to orange. Before that the colour orange was called yellowred.

So the reason why an orange is called and orange is because it was the colour that was named after the fruit, whereas yellow and lemon weren't associated with each other in that way. Also lemons start out as green not yellow ☺️

A food I often eat is eggs, and eating undercooked eggs have a high risk of having salmonella. This is why it is dangerous to eat raw cookie dough, even though I do it anyways. Salmonella is a gram negative bacterium, it is rod shaped and flagellated. Undercooking foods and leaving them in warm temperatures can cause the pathogens to grow. Habits you can practice to reduce the risk of foodbourne illness would be to always be sure your food is cooked all the way, not eat anything raw, do not leave meat out to where it gets to room temperature, and to not eat rotten meat, fruit, or vegetables.
