A member asked:
I think i ate one bad cooked mussel it tasted bad. i spat it out right away. the shell was open. will i get sick?

Unlikely: If it was cooked, and you did not swallow the mussel, you are unlikely to suffer any bad consequences. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
