Is eating raw meat guaranteed to give you poisoning,?!


Question: Is eating raw meat guaranteed to give you poisoning,!?
i ate some of what i think was raw chickenWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
no!. Food poisoning can take up to 48 hours to show any symptoms!.
Pathogens (the nasty little guys who make you sick) need certain conditions to grow in order to give someone food poisoning:
Food- need food to live on/in
Acidity- need a low level of acidity, cannot survive in high acidity
Time- they need at least 4 hours to grow
Temp- four hours of being in between the temps of 41 and 135 degrees
O- oxygen
M- moisture

if ALL of these did not take place, you do not need to worry about food poisoning!. The most crucial part is the time/temp!. The pathogens cannot grow in food that has not been left at those temperatures for at LEAST four hours!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would be less worried about food poisoning and more worried about parasitic infections!. Parasites sometimes live in raw meat that are killed once cooked!. With chicken it's less likely to get a parasite, though and statistically it's unlikely to get salmonella from raw chicken either, people just try to be very careful about it!. If you feel fine in 48-72 hours from now, you should be in the clear!. There are a few rare parasites that take a long time to develop, but you would only get those from raw pork or venison or raw meat that has come into contact with feces!. I'd say there's a 99% chance you'll be fine!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

The poisoning doesn't come from the meat, it comes from microorganisms that may or may not be present in the meat!. The longer it has been exposed the more time they will have had to multiply and the more chance you have of getting sick!. If you get sick, you will obviously know it!. If it's anything less than salmonella or botulism you'll puke and hate life and then get better!. Let's don't eat raw chicken in the future, m'kay!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

i agree with sai!.
also though, when they slaughter the animal there is a possibility of knicking the bowel and contamimnating the rest of the animal because once a pathogen touches the meat it can multiply and cause health problems!. it is a lot easier than u might think to knick the intestine when cutting the animal!.
i once saw a special on tv about this boy who was in boy scouts or something like that and they were making burgers on the fire!. he found a bit of raw meat nearby that hadn't made it into a burger, and he ate it!. the whole show was about how he almost died from E!. colli, which comes from the cows intestine!.
however, i saw on wife swap (yes, it seems i watch too much tv) there was this family who would swear by eating only raw meats and they were fine!.
most likely u should know in a few hours if there is any problems!.
go to a hospital immediately if u have stomach pains or nausea!.
u should be fine thoughWww@FoodAQ@Com

my family is italian, and idk why old italians do this, but they are gross, and I have people in my family who while browning hamburger, will roll up tiny balls of raw hamburger and eat it!. GROSS I know, they have never been sick so it's not guaranteed, but all it takes is one contaminated piece, so I would be very careful!. As for your chicken, I have taken a bite out of chicken and realized it wasnt cooked all the way and been fine, however, if you start to feel sick, definitly tell your doctor immediatly!.

the meat itself has to have the bacteria present that causes the illness!.!. If the meat was not alying around chances are good there was no bacterial growth!. If you get sick it will usually be within 12 to 24 hours!.!. If you ate a little bit, and it was contaminated, chances are you won't be too bad off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it depends on what meat it is!. I mean, who in the hell wants to eat raw meat anyways!?!? It's not healthy and contains a lot of bacteria that can cause serious illness such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and kidney and liver infections!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no, i was watching tv it was either wife swap or trading spouses and one family ate everything raw!. chicken!. eggs!.!.!. everything!. it was really nasty!. they were on a raw food diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Food poisoning comes on VERY quickly, so if it has been more than a few hours and you have not had anything like vomiting or diarrhea, you're fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no its not guaranteed to give you any food posioning!. Chances are very low for food poisoning, but chicken is one of those that everyone freaks out about!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

well my brother eats pretty damn near raw meat all the time!. he seems to be fine but then again im really not a health doctor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No not nessarily but I wouldn't do it again because the chances are there and so is getting e-coil i !.Www@FoodAQ@Com
