A member asked:
Will one bite of bad chicken make me sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It sure could!: Food poisoning from contaminated or spoiled food can be acquired with just one bite. While most cases of food poisoning resolve after a day or two of diarrhea and painful cramps, it can also be serious and require medical care including IV fluids. If your symptoms are persistent or worsening, see a doctor or go to the emergency room.
