A member asked:
I prob ate undercooked chicken(didn't have a pink color or funny taste but it was hard)then drank an alka-seltzer.should i be worried for any illness?

Probably not: Many situations like this will not lead to illness, but there is a chance of acquiring a bacterial infection that could lead to vomiting or diarrhea within 24-48 hours. Hydration can then be important. Dehydration, seizures, or bleeding should prompt medical attention.
