Does Eating Contaminated Chicken Cause Nausea And Vomiting?

Hi - I had an incident whereby my son left a plastic container in the oven with left over chicken in it. I put the oven on not knowing it was in there and it melted causing major smoke etc...............but the chicken still looked fine. I ridiculously ate a small piece of the chicken to taste if I could keep it for the dogs, tasted awful and threw the rest of the chicken away..........however by Sat night I had a terribly upset tummy as well as a headache and was throwing up. I still am not feeling great, my stomach is still upset and am still feeling nauseus and have a headache, is this because of the small piece of "contaminated" chicken I ate? What advice do you have for me?

Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

Yes your symptoms are due to the chicken you ate . It has caused food poisoning to you. Most of the time the symptoms will last for 1-2 days and then patient will become alright.

I advise you to eat more of citrus fruits as they help in neutralizing toxins . Drink hot water , you can add ginger juice to water and drink.

But if symptoms are deteriorating then consult your doctor as you may require Antibiotics.

Hope you find the information useful.
Any clarification feel free to ask .

Regards.
