A few hours ago I made a little sandwich with a piece of deli ham and a roll. When I checked the expiration date on the ham it said January 25 and it's February 10th now! It was a sell-by date so it should have stayed good for like 7 days after but it's been 16 days since the expiration date!!!
I take apple cider vinegar fairly regularly and supposedly that prevents getting food poisoning but I'm still really nervous that I'll wake up tonight and have to v*. I took several spoonfulls of apple cider vinegar as soon as I saw that the expiration date was forever ago (for some reason I decided to just keep eating even though it tasted kind of funny) and I've taken several more since then plus some tea with lemon, honey and acv and 2 doses of activated charcoal which is supposed to absorb toxins.
I guess I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens for a while and any comforting words or success stories at avoiding food poisoning would be awesome. I've accepted the fact that the ham was definitely bad but I still have hope that the apple cider vinegar and activated charcoal will save me from having to experience my worst fear.
