Hi OP,

I hope that you are feeling better.

A few years back I did get salmonella food poisoning from undercooked meat at a barbecue. It is rare that you feel sick right away so I suspect it is anxiety, I think I got ill about 8 hours later not straight away. It was not very nice but I was fine in a few days, just plenty of fluids and I kept close to the WC at all times.

I really don't think it is likely that you have it by what you are saying.

I dont think you will, if you're anything like me you will worry for hours. And you'll feel queasy due to thinking you should be! I work in Sainsburys & i'm forever picking chickens up & the things leak all over my hands! I do go & wash them, but I stress for hours afterwards.
I dont think it sounds like you would have had enough contamination from it, if it was only on your shopping list.

You are NOT going to get salmonella because you have already thought about it and this makes it impossible to happen because it would be too much of a coincidence for it to happen to one who is constantly worried about it, compared to the rest of the world, which is worried about other stuff, like a 1 in a million chance.

As for feeling sick, eat something and don't let your tummy empty, or you will feel more anxious.

Every time a thought like that enters your head, tell yourself "I'll deal with it".

Just some ideas...

I had Salmonella poisoning last year........ through eating a Chinese carry out.

Please dont worry, always remember, we rarely get sick through fault of our own - it's always through other peoples bad hygiene or lack of thought for others.

You will be fine:)

How are you feeling today?
I thought about you this morning at work, I picked up a whole leg of lamb & it was wet, not sure if the vacuum pack was leaking, but one thing after another had me forgetting about it, 10 minutes later I thought uh oh, I have been licking my fingers to get the bags open? lol ooops. But to be honest I didn't worry anymore after that. The chances are real slim.
And I feel fine & dandy so far.
