Answers:
Try them out on your mother in law first!. If she goes green then I wouldn't eat themWww@FoodAQ@Com

if they have a slimy feel to them or a not so good smell to them!. when in doubt throw them out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

oh you will know!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They're not bad!.
The package would have swelled
and it takes alot more then just coolish to kill those dogs!.

Slime will form on Natural casing franks when they get old( and that can be washed off)!. Nothing to do with them getting room temp for and hour or so!.
Remember your not talking about fresh meat!.
Lot's of salt( and some contain nitrates) preserve them quite well!.
Takes alot more then that to make them go bad!.
Eat them, they're fine!.
Street vendors leave them out alot longer then that!.
Some meats( similarly made) are actually left out to age)!.
ie Mortedella!.( not quite the same but close)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
