Self-inflicted food poisoning?

[P1ZombieKiller]

I cooked chicken fajitas with all the trimming 2 nights ago for dinner. The chicken had been in the fridge for a while. I checked the date and it said 2/19 so I didn't think too much about it. I open the package and smelled it. It smelled just like prepackage seasoned chicken. About 4 hours after eating dinner, all hell broke loose. I went back and looked at the package and it said 12/19/22 as the date. Here I am 2 days later and I am still walking a little real softly and trying not to even look at any good food.

Ouch! You have to watch chicken closely. I’ve seen packages in the store that have blown up like a balloon. Check the dates!

I am guilty of “science projects” in the back of the fridge also. I have not consumed one though.

in high school I worked in the meat department on occasion at a local grocery store. The butchers said if the chicken is slippery don’t eat it. As it goes bad it gets a slippery bacterial coating on it. Chicken is kind of slippery anyways but more than usual when going bad. If that makes any sense at all lol. Butchers please chime in.

I check to see if it's slimey. Could have been the hot sauce - it seems to develop mold quickly.

Sorry, I laughed a little when I read this part. Food poisoning is no joke. Listeria is the one I am always worried about with meats and sandwich meats. Hopefully you get back on your feet asap!

Dont feel bad.... it was meant to make some people giggle, some people cringe, but mostly to show I am not the sharpest pencil in the box.

Food poisoning is the worst. I had it recently from what I think was a dirty tap beer line. Myself and two friends all got sick and my wife was the only one with a bottled beer and didn’t. I called the place and they said they just cleaned the tap lines last week….yeah right.

All was better after day three for me. Hopefully you’re near the end!

Salmonella and staff are the 2 main chicken culprits but they act differently; staff is a food poisoning where you are getting the toxin that the staff bacteria produced. Symptoms appear quickly as in your case and they is no fever as it is a toxin, like you drank gas or some other chemical. Duration of the vomiting is typically 24 hrs then you end up with a huge headache. Staff will also grow on any dairy product(potentially hazardous foods) if you leave it out at room temperature. Salmonella is a bacterial infection and usually takes a very minimum of 24-72 hrs or longer onset with diarrhea, chills, cramps, and the big indicator is fever as your body raises its temperature to fight the infection.
Cooking chicken to 165F should kill both the salmonella and the staff toxin as it is not heat stabile and is denatured.

I poisoned myself recently and I'm in hospital. I ate a daffodil bulb, mistaking it for an onion.

Doctor says that I'll be out in the spring.

Is this what may be called a "bloom'n joke"?

I never trust ANY pre seasoned meat. That's how chili got started to begin with, it covered up the smell and taste. Anything with feathers on it needs at least 165° in my book.... John

Your high school had a meat department?

Fridge meaning refrigerator or freezer?

I feel for you, food poisoning is the worst, feels like you are being turned inside out!

My Dad has a horrific story of running back and forth to the bathroom on an airplane for 6 hours, while suffering an apparently legendary bought of food poisoning.

Be very cautious about tarter sauce at restaurants, never again.

I would bet EVERYONE on that plane has a horror story to tell.

Yes, yes, yes!! I had forgotten about that. Lots of horse and cattle events are catered suppers. Fried chicken, catfish, and shrimp, AND that damn yellow tarter sauce! I got me a dose of that several years ago and spent a couple of days pretty close to the can. When we go to any of them now my wife always has a small medicine bottle of salt and a new squeeze bottle of Kraft tartar sauce in her purse for us....... John
