Is this raw chicken???

[Rivermonsters]

My dad cooked it for me, it wasn’t as hot as usual and this mouthful was cold and tasted gummy.

if chicken is pink then its raw

Reminds me of the time I ordered chicken escalope in a restaurant and the (young) waitress asked me how I wanted it done. I looked at her quizzically and she elaborated, “rare or medium or well done?”. I replied ‘cooked!’ and it didn’t even twig with her, she just sighed and walked off to the kitchen! Thankfully none of it came out raw.

Eurgh, this is also my worst nightmare I've also had campylobacter before (from raw chicken in a restaurant 😬), and it was not pleasant to say the least.

Hope you're doing okay OP.. I think the onset of food poisoning can be any between 6 and 36 hours.

Also is your dad quite alright? How old is he? Any signs of dementia?

@Pixies74 he’s 52 so I don’t think so

@Rivermonsters I think a couple of days and you’ll know either way. Beware of the gin though, I once started with norovirus whilst out on the town drinking gin and gin now reminds me of the time I wanted to die on a hotel bathroom floor. Maybe have something you are a bit more indifferent to, just in case.

@myyellowcar thank you for the advice, how long did it take for the symptoms to show when you were sick?

Are you still alive this morning 😀

@QuelleSuprise just feel under the weather and stomach ache this morning so not dead yet

@Tsuni

Cavemen also died very very young from many different diseases, illnesses, poisoning etc.

No they didn’t

Did they not? So cavemen never died young or got sick or ate something poisonous? How do you know that?

How are you now @Rivermonsters?!

@MalbecandToast sorry for late response. I’m unwell, I feel tired (even though I’ve slept since half 10), like I’m going to pass out and I have a weird feeling in my stomach

That’s not really standard food poisoning symptoms. You would usually just throw up and be over it.

I wonder if your health anxiety is making you ill because you think you should be?

I was just replying to say the same. If you're sick it's from something else now - food poisoning would happen within 12 hours of when you ate the relevant item.

Feel better soon. 💐

Hmm, whilst food poisoning CAN take 72 hrs to materialise/incubate (so I understand), I'd agree that I'd have expected you to have known about any D&V from undercooked chicken by now. 🤔

It doesn't sound like your symptoms today are necessarily linked? Have you managed to eat or drink anything?

@RunningFromInsanity I’m not worried about it. I’m perfectly chilled, been doing some maths resit revision and watching Netflix

@DinaDirvla I’ve had a protein shake

I don't think chickens in the UK have salmonella anymore. Basically, in the 80s I would have had THE FEAR after eating raw chicken, nowadays not so much.

I know other people who've inadvertently eaten raw chicken and been fine (one of them was in a nice restaurant

@INeedNewShoes you still need to worry. A friends husband ate undercooked chicken at a BBQ in the summer, he was rushed into hospital due to the amount of blood he was shitting. He was really ill

People with food poisoning aren't normally up to doing revision, watching Netflix and drinking protein shakes.
They mostly groan, faint and fall off the bog.

Or is that just me?

Fingers crossed the danger has passed and it'll settle.

I hope you're ok OP
I had awful sickness after eating under cooked chicken just before Christmas
But you may have got away with any horrible after effects, as others have
Maybe your dad was simply trying to jolly you out of worrying over being ill,
Although his words were a bit casual, he definitely needs his cooking skills reviewed
I'd be wary of anything he cooks for you in future

@DinaDirvla true haha. I just don’t know how to get rid of the tiredness

Hey @rivermonsters that doesn't sound like food poisoning. Have you checked for Covid?

@Mumdiva99 I’ll do a LFT soon, bit of a stupid question but I had covid 3 months ago so are you more likely to catch it again?

Well my youngest had it end Nov and again last week.....so yes.

Sorry....didn't answer the question....are you more likely - I don't know. Can you catch it again - yes.
