Ate mousse that i didn't know had been out for hours & i assume it had raw egg in it so now i'm worried abt salmonella. anything i can do to prevent?

Afraid not.: It is now a good number of hours since you ate the mousse. If you have no symptoms you have dodged the bullet of the most distressing of food poisonings. At 48 hours you will be in the clear.
