Panicking, ate rice left out overnight

Hi sorry I don't know an AIBU question to ask, I'm posting here for traffic and I am so anxious I can't think what section to post this in sorry.

I got up at half seven this morning and we had paella last night for dinner and my sister really enjoyed it and wanted to keep the rest and left it out on the kitchen worktop last night and this morning I have had several large spoonfuls of it! I don't know why I was so stupid and I am panicking what's going to happen. I tried to make myself vomit by putting my fingers in my throat and drinking salty water but nothing worked and I am panicking I am going to get sick and ruin today when I have been really looking forward to today with all my family I hardly see. I don't have a clue if there is anything I can do?

If rice that was left out killed people then the region from India to Japan wouldn’t have the highest populations & highest life expectancies of the world.

If anything it would be all the shellfish that could make one sick. But if you don't feel sick then you aren't sick and shouldn't make yourself sick with salt water. I never put rice in the fridge if I'm going to eat it again the following day because i don't like how it makes the grains clump together.

Enjoy your day with your family.
