I cooked chicken for my family & we ate it without realizing it was not thouroughly cooked.what do I do?
Question:
Answers:
Just keep a close watch on everyone. If anyone gets sick, go to the ER or Dr. Uncooked chicken will give you Salmonella Food poisoning!
Other Answers:
No. Don't worry about it, it wasn't pork.
Not a whole lot you can do now. It won't kill them, might make them sick. So keep an eye out.
Don't worry. Most chicken doesn't have salmonella anyway. At the worst, you might have a little stomach upset. But you'll probably be fine. I've accidentally eaten undercooked chicken or turkey several times in my life.
The first answer is wrong. Chicken can make you really sick. Drink an 8oz glass of water with 2 table spoons of vinagar. sounds gross, but it will counter act food poisoning

It won't kill you if you ignore any signs of illness.
Just be wary of any strange behavior in the next few days.
If you see nothing, then you have nothing to worry about.
I have to agree to the third or fourth answer from the medical responder. i don't know about the vinegar and salt though. I'd just call the local er and ask them. that way you'll have peace of mind. hope everyone is doing okay.
Don't worry unless someone becomes ill and shows signs of food poisoning, esp. from salmonella.
The symptoms of food poisoning usually affect your stomach and intestines (gastrointestinal tract).
The first symptom is usually diarrhea. Other symptoms include feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), vomiting, and abdominal cramps. The time it takes for symptoms to appear, how severe the symptoms are, and how long the symptoms last depend on the infecting organism, your age, and your overall health.
The very young and the very old may be most affected by food poisoning. Their symptoms may last longer, and even the types of food poisoning that are typically mild can be life-threatening. This may also be true for pregnant women and people with impaired immune systems, such as those with long-lasting (chronic) illnesses.
Not all food poisoning results in diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. Some types of food poisoning have different or more severe symptoms:
Clostridium botulinum (botulism) produces toxins that paralyze the nerves and the muscles. Botulism symptoms usually begin 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated foods and include weakness and double vision. Paralysis progresses from the head to the rest of the body.
Toxoplasmosis often has no symptoms, or the symptoms are flu-like. You may have swollen lymph glands or muscle aches and pains that last for a few days to several weeks. Toxoplasmosis is dangerous to a pregnant woman and her fetus. For more information, see the topic Toxoplasmosis During Pregnancy.
Listeriosis causes fever, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea or diarrhea. If the infection spreads to the brain and nervous system, then symptoms such as headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions can occur. A pregnant woman may experience only a mild, flu-like illness. Infections during pregnancy can lead to premature delivery, serious infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
E. coli O157:H7 infection can cause serious complications, such as severe blood and kidney problems, in children younger than 5 years and adults older than 65. For more information, see the topic E. coli Infection.
Salmonellosis may last more than a week and require hospitalization.
Call your doctor immediately if you:
Have severe diarrhea (such as watery, bloody diarrhea).
Have blurred or double vision, muscle weakness, fatigue, dizziness, and headache (symptoms of botulism).
Are pregnant and believe that you have been exposed to listeriosis or toxoplasmosis.
Have pain that becomes more intense. The pain will be steady and will get worse when you walk or cough. This may be appendicitis, which may be mistaken for food poisoning.
Have signs of severe dehydration. These signs include:
Little or no urine (or wet diapers) for 8 hours or urinating less than 3 times (or less than 3 wet diapers) in 24 hours, usually with one or more of the other signs of dehydration given below.
*Doughy skin that doesn't bounce back when pinched.
*Sunken eyes or a sunken soft spot (fontenelle) on an infant's head.
*Feeling faint, or having low blood pressure.
*A fast heart rate.
Children, pregnant women, and people with long-lasting (chronic) conditions, such as diabetes, are more likely to have severe dehydration and should be watched closely for symptoms.
Talk to your health professional if vomiting lasts more than 1 day in adults or diarrhea lasts:
*More than 2 to 3 days in adults or if you have stomach pain that is not relieved by passing gas or stools.
*1 to 2 days in children younger than 4 years old.
*8 hours in babies 3 to 6 months old.
*4 hours in infants younger than 3 months of age.
If you think you have eaten contaminated food, your local Poison Control Center can answer questions and provide information on what to do next. Poison Control Centers are usually listed with other emergency numbers in your telephone book.
