Answer 1

nahh, worst comes to worst you'll get very sick (most likely a bad case of the runs for the day or two)

Answer 2

No.

Have another beer.

Answer 3

Get rid of it, it was left out all night at room temperature, meaning bacteria have had ideal conditions to grow.  (Time/Temperature Abuse)  If you reheat it, various toxins from certain bacteria could still be present.

EDIT:

Thing is, the mold most likely ISN'T the problem, only a small % are actually harmful.   The main culprit is most likely bacteria which had time to grow.  Salmonella/E-coli/Listeria/Norovirus, ect.

EDIT2:  Also, I feel I should warn you that the purpose of refrigeration is to keep bacterial populations low, refrigeration and freezing DO NOT KILL BACTERIA!  Since it was left out so long, a lot of microorganisms have had time to develop in your food, so refrigeration won't do much.  The bacteria will continue to grow or possibly form spores.

Answer 4

no you will be fine.... I'm sure it's not the lasagna might be something Else! sorry.....

Answer 5

No you will not get sick, it's all in your mind.

Answer 6

Before the EMT comes, can I have your computer?

Answer 7

No but you might be sick for a while for the mold that grew overnight.  Usually if you heat it up the problem wont occur but since it did just chug some pepto and at most a few days you'll be fine.

Answer 8

No way, Cheese is mold. So A little extra cant kill you. Many believe the older the cheese the better the taste!!!! So the answer is NO you will not die.
