Sick: Probably not! Throw away any "leftovers" and don't worry unless you develop new symptoms over the next few days. Unlikely to happen. PS: Get some new ones!

Unpleasant tasting but probably will not make you sick. Nuts, especially stored at room temperature, can spoil - that is, the fats they contain can go rancid. Your sense of taste is a good warning signal for spoiled foods.
