Raw chicken juice went into my mouth!

[helgio]

I'm not sure if I should be worried or not but i was opened the chicken (raw) and some juiice flew onto my chin and I think my mouth too. Should I worry or is it only when you eat raw meat will you get sick?

your advice will be appreciated as soon as you can answer as Im abit tense now... [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

did you rinse your mouth out?

[helgio]

No because I dint feel any go in there but now I'm paranoid that
maybe the smallest droplet I didn't feel could do sonething! If it's a
tiny drop will it make me sick?

[kassiewoodruff]

no a droplet you couldnt feel im sure wouldnt do anything. ive had a lot of scares like that working in a kitchen. I know you will be ok

Have u ever got raw juice in your mouth and how much was it? Did u
get sick?

[ankitchens]

a small amount of it splashing in your mouth is not going to make you s*, you would have to ingest a lot of it which im sure you didnt, so no worries =)Edited by: ankitchens

I read online that your stomach acid doesn't kill salmonella sovdoesnt
that mean if one bacterium went unto urvstomach it'll keep
multiplying? That's what's scaring me, I thought acid killed bacteria
but apparently it thrives in it?!

Try not to google stuff like that. It seems to make things worse.

I really think you will be fine. If some MAY have gotten in your mouth it must have been a teeny tiny droplet. You would need more then that to make you sick.

I am pretty sure that you won't get sick from just a drop, although I would have definitely been freaked out too. Also I thought that I heard that not all chicken has salmonella, but maybe I am wrong. I hope that you'll be okay, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I too think you'll be just fine from just a splash. (If you really want to put your mind at ease, maybe try a rinse with some Listerine!)

I agree you should be fine. I worked in kitchens and stuff like that happened to me alot I never got sick from that. hang in there [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]
