A member asked:

I may have ate some undercooked chicken leg. most of the chicken breast part seemed cooked -- moist but white. will i be ok? what's the time frame of when i should be in the clear and what symptoms? sorry for all these q's, just worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The danger of eating undercooked chicken comes from 2 potential bacteria that chicken often harbor. One is salmonella which can cause more serious illness and begins in 2 days. The other is campylobacter poisoning which can take 2 to 10 days to occur. Both cause diarrhea and may need antibiotic treatment in severe cases.
