Answer 1

The possibility of semonella or e-coli is possible but other than that you should not be that bad. But if you start to become seriously ill that lasts for a whole day, go to the doctor because it could be semonella or e-coli.

Answer 2

Your chance of having difficulties of any kind are very small. Relax.

Answer 3

Was it hamburger, or beef prepared in an area using the same equipment as pork or chicken?  If that were the case, perhaps I'd be concerned enough to ask my doctor.  I doubt they'd give you anything, but probably tell you symptoms to watch for.

Uncooked beef--of the highest quality--is delicious as steak tartare.  And my dad still eats raw hamburger, even though I keep telling him how risky it is, but he's 66 and there's no telling him anything!  They're his insides, after all. :-P

Answer 4

only if it had bacteria on it to begin with.  If not you don't have to worry.  Like if it was right out of the fridge.   If it had been sitting at room temp for a while, you might worry.  Drink lots of water.  might help flush it out.

and why is this being posted in the vegetarian section?

Answer 5

never think negative always think positive!

Answer 6

you might puke but not get food posining

Answer 7

Uncooked beef itself is not what makes you sick.  It is organisms which live on the uncooked meat which make you sick (in particular, e-coli bacteria is the most common culprit, which comes from the cow's intestine).

You may get lucky, though.  If you do get food poisoning, believe me, you will know with certainty in an amazingly short amount of time.

Answer 8

it depends if the meat was touched or dirty. if not you got nothing to worry about

Answer 9

ew. why did you!

Answer 10

No, you shouldn't get sick unless the meat was bad.

People eat rare beef even raw beef (carpacio style) everyday without getting sick.
