Why do some people fear to eat beef steak as rare?

Could some side effects occur when they eat a meat that's full of blood?Guyper

food poisoning tends to be one cause not all the bacteria will have been killed...

mad cow disease is a fine example

I don't see the point of eating beef if you're going to cook the flavor out of it. I got with very rare when I eat steak because I like to taste the meat.

Food poison is a concern, but not if the meat is fresh and has been kept refrigerated.

Other meats, like chicken or pork I can understand because they actually seem to have a higher chance to become bacterial-ised.
