How long for food poisoning to kick in?

JohnCleary

Thought i'd bring this to attention of AH so ye can get a laugh as i'll probably be welded to the jacks all night tonight.

Picked up a feed from a local Chinese in Galway as too wrecked to cook. Munched it all... got to the last bit and as it was a little bigger than the rest of the chicken pieces I decided to cut it in half.

This is what I was faced with: http://imgur.com/RvCpeim

Brought it back to the take-away. 2 staff there started roaring at me saying that IT COOKED FINE, IT COOKED OK.

I'll put the toilet paper in the freezer :eek:

Looks grand to me. Though I usually like my chicken cooked medium rare.

You don't automatically get food poisoning from eating raw chicken. There's a reasonable chance that you may, but you may not. Good luck, I genuinely hope you don't die.

I hope not. Starting a new (big) project tomorrow, it's going to cost me a small fortune if it gets delayed

Depends - anything from hours to weeks.

Chances are it wasn't the last thing you ate and you poisoned yourself.

I got food poisoning from chowder last year. The cramping was horrific. I had to drive an hour home, I seriously thought a few times that I was going to have to pull over and get someone to pick me up. I haven't looked at chowder since

Usually takes 24-48 hours, but obviously it can hit sooner. Raw chicken obviously has potential dangers, but if it's really fresh, you may be ok. You should definitely report the restaurant, particularly after their reaction.

You'll be grand until tomorrow evening anyway.

Already sent an initial form submission to FSAI. I'm not one to rant online normally, but their attitude disgusted me... total defense. I guess, if they said "sorry", they've accepted liability. It's not like I went down demanding compensation.... they didn't even offer me a refund, and I didn't ask for one.

Cheers.... still not great news, have work all weekend too

Head out west and find your friendly local poitín dealer. That will kill any bacteria that might be in your system. As long as it doesn't also kill you, you'll be grand.



Real answer: you might get away with it. You said the other pieces of chicken were smaller, so they might have been cooked through. Cross your fingers, and your legs

Liamario

You may not get any food poisoning. But you'll know if you do.

You should have dared one of them to eat it, if they were so sure it was cooked. I bet they would've changed their tune then :P

That would have been gas. They kept trying to take it, but I wouldn't let it out of my hands (I had it wrapped in cling film) - Told them I was keeping it for FSAI.

I've only been unlucky enough to get food poisoning twice and both times it hit somewhere between the 5-8 hour mark.

Horrific stuff guys. Both ends.

Like my body said - let's get rid of this stuff as quick as possible. OPEN ALL VALVES AND LET HER RIP!!!

Is that not a well cooked cockroach in the middle there, like a fossil ?

Good quality Rat meat usually has a bit of pink marbling through it when it is cooked properly.
So looks like it cooked ok.

All I can say is good luck and hope you don't get it!
(Or if you do that it gets out of you quick enough!)

JohnCleary is gonna be sitting on the sh!tter for a long time. A long long time.

I've had it twice. First time (from raw chicken in a Chinese!), it took about 26 hours to kick in. Awkward as fcuk because I was on a night out with a friend who I'd eaten with the day before. Hadn't even finished our first drink when we were both running to the bathroom.

Second time, it kicked in after about 6 hours (if I'm correct on what food caused it).

You might be fine if the chicken was quite fresh. Just in case, have immodium, motilium, dioralyte and loo roll ready.

it takes 12 to 48 hours, it can happen quicker if its physical contamination

I wouldn't take imodium because the idea the body has with the sh*ts is to get rid of all the bad stuff that comes with food poisoning. Imodium means you are keeping it in your system longer.

Feels awful for sure, but if its kept in you I bet it could make you sicker (if thats even possible).

if you chuck it up OP, you will feel far better once its all out of you, just hydrate and try not to die :pac:

Drink some Tequila if you can't find any poitín. That chicken looks like it's still clucking. Yock. Hope your tummy manages to digest it. Keep lots of fluids on hand and attend the doctor if you need to. Bleurgh.

sammyjo90

Got food poisoning from chicken at a bbq last year, took two days to kick in and a week in hospital to cure it.
Wouldnt wish it on anyone! I have my fingers crossed for you OP!

An empty house is better than a bad lodger.

I flash fry chicken in a wok at a high heat and sometimes it looks a bit raw in the centre. Never had any problems.

How do you ike your steak, sir?

Cut off his horns, wipe his ar$e and put him on a plate.

nullzero

Minimum incubation time for some of the food poisoning bugs is 6 hours, if it hits in that time frame you will be extremely sick, most likely vomiting and extreme diarrhea. I had it happen once and spent two days in extreme agony with almost unstoppable vomiting and diarrhea. Food safety is of the utmost importance to any business in the food or hospitality industry and should never be overlooked. Best of luck OP.

Almost the exact same thing here. Shared some small dishes at lunch with a friend. We were living in the same house at the time. The next day(practically 24 hours down to the minute)we both got ill. Extremely ill. Just as well we had two loos in the house.

I feel very sorry for the OP. Hopefully he'll be ok.

Too many Chinese take aways in Ireland serve up totally rubbish food and we just keep coming back for more. I really hope the place the OP got his food from will be shut down....permanently.

Good morning OP. How is your arse?
