Eaten raw chicken- can I do anything?

[Bambooozle]

DH served up a (pre made, cooked from frozen) chicken kyiv with chips tonight. I cut into the kyiv, dipped a load of chips into the garlic butter that ran out, and ate a slice, not looking at it, as I was just looking at the crispy outside coating. Cut it open a bit more and realised it was completely raw inside. 😫

Obviously my AIBU is, AIBU to murder DH for this.

But more practically, is there anything that I can do? Do I just need to wait for the vomiting to start? Is it likely I'll be really ill?

I guess I didn't eat a huge amount, maybe about 20% of the kyiv, but I also had a lot of the garlic butter which would have been all over the raw chicken.

Don't have any iodine though...

I think a little alcohol would relax you xxx

My DS as a toddler ate some gone off raw chicken which had been left out of the fridge as was waiting to be thrown away. I gave him coke. He was fine!

Glad it cheered you up :).

Be that as it may, if there’s a tiny chance it would help, I will take it!

Its not the meat, it’s the modern intensive farming methods.

You can’t have eaten raw chicken and not realised. The texture is just so radically different.

You might be just fine. There is a chance of food poisoning but not a certainty and you can do anything to prevent it. I have eaten under cooked chicken by mistake more than once and been fine. I've only ever got food poisoning from sea food.

Yes, you can.
Stop panicking, forget the mouthful.
Nothing is going to happen.

You ever had campylobacter? I'm quite lax about use by dates etc but I got food poisoning from chicken at a meal out
Once you've had a 40c temp for a week and shit yourself every 30 mins and lost 17lbs and ended up in hospital you tend to be very cautious

I've not touched chicken since

It would probably be hitting you about now oP so you may be lucky.

On the other hand a significant portion of food poisoning cases in people I know have been, for some reason, kievs. I think the coating crisps and browns misleadingly fast. Your DH isn’t the first person to have got a Kiev wrong.

@Bambooozle oh gosh I know so hard but hopefully this thread will give you some laughs (obv not the poor ones who have been unwell) and help you to relax x

Although if it helps I wasn't sick with it, just felt nauseous and they said that was common with campylobacter

I’m another to have eaten raw chicken by mistake, I was absolutely fine.

as for those who question how you didn’t realise, when you’re eaten it in something like a Kiev it’s surprising how you don’t actually notice straight away.

Yeah but…statistically, lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place…I’ve never had food poisoning (despite being relaxed about use by dates) so I’m waaay more likely to get it…so enjoy your chicken.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

I ate raw chicken in India, it was on a buffet in a posh hotel. I’d already bitten into it by the time I realised.

I was violently ill all night, both ends. The stomach cramps were horrific. I Ended up having to find a Dr the next day I felt so awful. But it was over in 24 hours.

Likelihood is in the UK she’ll be fine, but people do get ill from raw chicken.

I was surprised as I thought food poisoning would kick in fairly quickly and be over shortly
Ate the chicken Wed, symptoms started Sat, and started 7 days of antibiotics on the Friday

These responses of drink coke or Vodka !

Christ on a bike

Most British chickens are vaccinated against Salmonella, which is why raw egg is pretty safe.

😂 that’s the level of fear I have over raw chicken!

Get some charcoal tablets from H&B tomorrow. I do this now when I've eaten something dodgy. It may do something, or nothing but definitely makes me feel better psychologically!

As a side note, I'm super paranoid about food poisoning amd still I think you will most likely be fine. Getting sick is more the exception than the rule.

Put a loo roll in the freezer

Hopefully you will be fine- you should know by morning

If the garlic centre was melted then surely the chicken would have at least partly cooked ? Not understanding how the centre can be hot

I don't think you can risk NOT drinking the Vodka & if you have Coke as well I think you are doing your best to fight it off.

Feel really nauseous having read your thread,so hopefully your feeling is just equally in your head!
