A member asked:
I ate some hard boiled eggs that were sitting at room temp for a few hours maybe more, is it possible for them to give me diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Salmonella specifically, among others, can cause diarrhea. Hard boiled eggs should be eaten in 2 hours after being cooked or refrigerated. Check cdc.gov regarding full recommendations regarding tips for reducing risk of infections from cooked eggs.
