I ate Raw Bacon!!

Ok, I ate some Raw Bacon, I'm not sure why, I was under the impression that it was perfectly fine to eat and thought, why not! It was just one slice of smoked, but I've now heard that it can lead to parasites or some other nasty things, so, does anybody know anything about this, Med students or something?
Should I make myself sick or take laxatives to flush anything out?

make yourself sick immeadiately, using laxatives will mean that any bad bacteria and parasites will be allowed to enter the bloodstream fairly easily

Relax, eating raw bacon wont hurt you at all. I did it many times myself as a child and I"m still alive. :smile:

Man up, take it like a man. I eat raw chicken sometimes. Maybe the odd raw turkey on occasions.

Tapeworms eh... at least I'll lose weight :p:

But seriously, all of this shizz is like worse case scenario right? Especially seeing as it was smoked.

You should be okay. Smoked bacon is generally less dangerous.

You tit. If you start feeling ill I suggest you seek medical attention sharpish.

You'll be fine. Bacon's salted (and smoked depending on what you've bought) so chances are it'll be alright. It's not recommended, but it far from guarenteed food poisoning.

As for tape worm eggs, I think he'd notice a tapeworm cyst in his bacon, they're quite big. Usually in thicker meat like pork chops, not bacon. Toxoplasma on the other hand...

Did you not at any point think 'this tastes like crap' and spit it out? The texture must have been horrible...

You'll be fine.

Nope. Unless someone managed to swallow a snake whole.

In theory I shouldn't have passed my economics AS...

I guess you will be fine - it was still in date as well right?
