I left some Chinese out over-night, do I dare eat it?

Question

Got some Chinese on Sunday night. Ate about half, then left the rest in the box, closed it, and left it on the floor. Like 8 hours later, I remembered it, and put it in the fridge.

It's been out in room temperature for around 8-10 hours before it got refrigerated. It smells fine.

Do I dare eat it? Since it's summer, and like 80 degrees in my apartment, is the risk of contamination big? Will it be fine to eat if I nuke it?

Answer 1

After 4 hours, the food is no longer edible. The amount of contamination after the 2nd hour is widespread. You may not have to go to the hospital if you eat it, but I guarantee you that you will be out for at least 1 day.

Answer 2

80 degrees for 8 to 10 hours.  

Not good... toss it out.

I wouldn't risk it and I eat everything.

Answer 3

Umm NO! Heck No! It is Chinease... that's bad enough... but leavng it overnight... WOW! I like Chinease though! lol

Answer 4

Please throw it in the trash. It's got enough bacteria growing on it to make you really sick, even after you put it in the fridge.

Answer 5

No Way!!!  You are just asking for food poisoning.  Always follow this simple rule: "When in doubt, throw it out."

Answer 6

No. The heat temperature will make it rotten and bacteria might have gotten into it. It's disgusting.
