Hello friends and once again welcome back to Life’s Biggest Question, the channel
that looks to answer both, those every day questions, as well as some far fetched questions,
you may have.
And today, we’re talking about chicken.
Now I don’t know about you guys, but chicken is in my top 5 favourite foods.
Maybe even top 3.
It’s just so good.
You can bake it, cook it, fry it, there’s just so many options, and for the most part,
it’s quite healthy.
I mean depends how it’s made but it’s always packed with protein and delicious flavour.
What’s not to love ? But rotten chicken, well that’s a different story.
The taste isn’t quite the same, it doesn’t look very appetizing and if you do end up
eating it, well you’re in for a bit of a wild ride.
Today, we’ll be talking about the repercussions of What Happens If You Eat Rotten Chicken,
and what you should do if you find yourself in such a predicament.
Before we do jump into it though, allow me to introduce myself to those of you who don’t
know me.

But for now, back to the rotten chicken.
Just the sound of it is gross isn’t it?
Well that’s because it is.
Rotten chicken can be a home for some real serious bacteria, such as salmonella and e-coli.
And although cooking your chicken thoroughly can rid it of such bacteria, some toxins can
survive the heat, and cause you to have some serious problems such as food poisoning.
Let's explore.
Assuming your chicken is properly cooked, you don’t have to worry so much about Salmonella
or E-Coli, both types of bacteria that can result in serious illness such as diarrhea,
vomiting, fever, cramps, and headaches.
In more serious cases of E-Coli, you could actually have internal hemorrhaging, although
it’s not that likely.
But let’s just say you properly cooked your rotten chicken, and ate it without realizing
it was rotten.
What happens next?
Well, it depends on how your body reacts.
Aside from obviously the terrible taste you’d have in your mouth, it’s possible you could
see symptoms anywhere from a couple hours up to 48 hours after eating the chicken.
Now if you’re lucky, you might have some diarrhea, maybe a stomach ache, and that’s
it.
If you’re really lucky, you might just have some irregular stool and that’s it.
But nine out of ten times, you’re gonna be using the bathroom so much, it’ll become
a second home.
Usually those with food poisoning in general tend to be nauseous, but a lot of the time
those affected will inevitably throw up.
Of course, you’ll also have the runs, so it’s a matter of how your body wants to
get rid of the bacteria, either from the top or the bottom.
And in more extreme cases, both.
The danger here is that you can become dehydrated.
But if you try to eat or drink anything, your stomach is most likely to reject it all together
because it’s trying to fix it’s initial problem, the rotten chicken.
So what can you do to help yourself while you go through this rough experience.
Well again, it depends on how severe your case is, but most professionals would recommend
starting off by taking small sips of water.
This is a good test to see if your body is willing to hold anything down, and with water
being the most bland thing, it’s the least likely to cause a negative reaction.
If you’re able to keep the water down, it’s recommended to keep taking small sips to ensure
your body stays hydrated.
The amount of water you’d lose with every trip to the bathroom could lead to serious
cases of dehydration which could lead to other problems all together.
If you’re able to go an hour without puking or having diarrhea, you may be able to finally
start keeping foods down.
You may even have an appetite.
But before you order Mcdonalds or a Pizza, which would most likely cause you to be sick
again, I’d recommend starting with the basics.
Bland foods that won’t upset your stomach, which has already been through hell.
We’re talking bananas, toast, rice, crackers, the boring stuff.
But given the state you’d be in, not only would anything taste good, your body would
appreciate the energy boost.
Things like dairy, spice, fatty and greasy foods could further prolong the recovery.
By now, you may still feel a little ill, possibly weak and maybe nauseous, but your symptoms
most likely wouldn’t be as severe, assuming you didn’t throw up the bland foods.
It’d be highly recommended that you continue to drink water to make sure you stay hydrated,
and eat binding foods that will help your stool go back to it’s healthy, hard self.
Although it’s more than likely you’d have diarrhea possibly a day or two after the other
symptoms subside, that’s your body just riding any bacteria or toxins left over.
But this is if you have any average case.
There’s the possibility that your condition can be extremely severe, to the point where
you wouldn’t be able to keep anything down at all, including water.
If you’re caught in a situation as unfortunate as this one, you’d find yourself making
a trip to the hospital.
Not necessarily the emergency room, but assuming you can’t keep any food or water down, aside
from dehydration, your body would be lacking necessary nutrients that will help you recover.
The only other way to get the water and nutrients into your system would be through an intravenous,
more commonly know as an IV.
Following the IV drip, your body should start to feel more normal and eventually you’ll
be on your way back to living a normal life.
But of course, there’s always the absolute worst case scenario.
The bacteria in your body is so bad, you need an antibiotic to get rid of it.
This antibiotic could either be prescribed orally, most likely in pill form, but in some
cases, it would also be in the IV hooked up to you.
Of course, as previously mentioned, everyone would be affected differently.
Younger children or elderly would have a tougher time fighting off the bacteria, while a healthy
20 or 30 year old most likely wouldn’t have as tough of a time.
But I think our safest bet is to avoid rotten chicken at all costs.
If you’re unsure if the chicken is rotten from looking at it, one taste and you’ll
know.
It’s recommended that when you do the taste test, you spit out the chicken if its rotten
instead of swallowing it for obvious reasons.
Even a little amount of raw chicken can cause a serious reaction.
So, let’s cap off this video by all collectively agreeing we won’t be eating raw chicken
anytime soon.
And if for whatever reason you do, well at least you’ll have tons of LBQ’s to watch
while your bed, or more likely, toilet ridden.
And on that note, let’s read some comments from the video What If We Reversed The Solar
