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.

Nothing you can do sorry

I've done the exact same. DH accidentally grilled a kyiv instead of cooking it. Served it up and I took a couple of bites, noticed a weird texture and saw it was completely raw and pink inside. I panicked but I was completely fine.

In Japan raw chicken is a thing, like sashimi with chicken instead of fish. Raw chicken doesn't automatically make you ill.

You'll likely be fine. I've done similar and had no issues.

Equally, I've also had camylobacter poisoning. It was the worst I've ever felt. At one point I napped while on the toilet because it seemed easier than walking back to bed (which in a small flat was only about 20 foot away).

On the brightside, I lost two stone in five days. Highly effective way to kick off a new year diet 😊

Always a bright side, eh?

Still fine so beginning to think I have escaped. It might just be a Christmas miracle!

Hmmm be careful about Christmas miracles... have you started to notice any whiskers growing on your cheeks, your hair colour changing to a gorgeous red brown and finding yourself looking longingly at any chicken pens you see??

You get ill, you're ill, you don't your are not. Jeez.

Fingers crossed OP 🤞

I'm still ok!

Does this mean I've swerved everything now? Surely nothing would take more than 4 days to take effect?

Yay!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Yep you're sweet!

Eating raw chicken doesn’t mean you WILL get food poisoning

the chicken has to actually have salmonella in it

Still fine! Big thanks to all the people on the thread who took the time to reassure me, Mumsnet can be a great place.

Wonderful news 👏
