Sounds like the words of somebody who has never had food poisoning before.

I say throw it out. The one unknown in this equation was how old the food was when you got it. Meaning if it was "close" to being expired there, and now you left it out longer.

Worst case is sometime in the next 12-72 hours you suddenly feel like your are going to throw up; only to find to your horror that you are "thowing up" from both ends. Not once, not twice, but every 20 minutes for the next 2 days.

Or even worse, you die. You may be healthy, but once your system is weakend by food poisoning you could come down with something else.

For a few dollars worth of food- food that you had already disregarded once?
