Question 1

i just ate 2 pieces of chicken cordon bleu and i noticed it was a little cold so i opened it and it was undercooked(meat pink and clear) . am i gonna get food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

: It is possible. If you feel indigestion and nausea in the next 2 hours, those are early food poisoning symptoms due to preformed toxin. After that, you may experience abdominal pain and then diarrhea stool in 4-6 hours. You should self induce vomit when you feel nausea then other symptoms will be mild. For bacterial infection, GI symptoms may not start until at least 8-12 hours after the meal.

Question 2

i accidentally ate raw chicken. how do i prevent food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Nothing to do now: There is a low risk of getting an infection, but since you have already eaten the meat there is nothing for you to do. If there were to be a problem it would likely happen within a few hours.

Question 3

what happens if you eat ever so slightly pink chicken, can you really get food poisoning and salmonella from that?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Undercooked chicken can certainly increase your risk of food poisoning including Salmonella.  Best not to risk it.

Question 4

just ate 5 day old leftover buffalo chicken dip then read online that it should be tossed after day 4. will i get food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

If you wait: another 24 hours and nothing happens, or just mild irritation of stomach and loose stools which go away, then you got away with eating 5-day-old leftover buffalo chicken dip.   Hopefully it was 5-day-old leftover buffalo chicken dip from the fridge, not sitting out.   Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 5

will i get food poisoning if i've eaten raw chicken?

Accepted Answer

Possible: But not definite.  Not much you can do if you've already consumed it, mostly just monitor for any symptoms of gastrointestinal upset like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Question 6

how long could chicken food poisoning take to kick in?

Accepted Answer

Depends : There is not specific "chicken food poisoning". The common food borne illness is likely to be salmonella infection that may 1-7 days. Food contaminated by preformed staphylococcal toxin can start in a couple of hours. See this site for more info.

Question 7

can you get food poisoning from slightly pink chicken in chicken and dunplings?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Undercooked chicken is a source of salmonella-related diarrhea.

Question 8

how long does it take to notice food poisoning symptoms from eating bad chicken?

Accepted Answer

It varies...: ...anywhere from a few hours to 5 days, depending on the particular bacteria that might contaminate undercooked or spoiled chicken. But there's no point in doing anything before symptoms start. Just contact your doctor if you develop vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, or fever. Most food poisoning isn't very serious, so it's safe to sit tight and wait for symptoms.

Question 9

can you get food poisoning just from smelling bad chicken? can the germs get you sick through your nose?

Accepted Answer

No: Food poisoning requires ingestion of the bacteria into your mouth and stomach.  The odor may cause nausea but should not cause an actual illness.

Question 10

how long does food poisoning on average take to appear, i cooked chicken last night and it was completely cooked and at the correct temperature yet there was a bloody vein in the middle. it has been 19 hours since i ate it and have cramps and nerves?

Accepted Answer

: Preformed bacterial toxins manifest as nausea vomiting, and diarrhea in a few hours. Bacterial infections with salmonella shigella may take 2-3 days. It is unlikely that you got food poisoning from what you described.
Wish you good health!
