Should I be concerned?

[AzithromycinFTW]

Hello, I really am sorry if this is the wrong forum. I chose this because it appears to be fairly active.

Around 2:00 E.S.T. this afternoon, I ate a pork chop that was moderately undercooked (some was pink, some was redish). This was primarily on the inside (I didn't notice anything on the outside). By the time I had realized it, I had eaten over half of it already.

So, my question is, should I be concerned about trichinosis, e. coli, salmonella, etc? It's almost been five hours, and I haven't began experiencing symptoms yet, but from what I've read, only certain bacteria will create symptoms this early.

Does anyone know the chances of getting something?

Thank you, and once again, sorry if this is an off topic post.

You will probably die.

Highly unlikely.

Highly unlikely.

Actually, it's certain. Just like this thread's fate.

I think the OP might be serious. If you feel fine after 24hours, you should be okay, but to be safe, I say 48 hours.

HPSPpayissues, thank you. If I do get sick, is there anything besides staying hydrated that I can do?

I had this broccoli earlier, then I realized that I hate broccoli. Do I have cancer?

No, see, actually it's not. Also, for future reference, you'll go ahead and refrain from replying to my topics unless you have remotely useful input. Thanks.

Yep, only one cure too.

Fail.
