Julie,

I got a *very* bad case of food poisoning about 30 years ago and that
was the sickest I'd ever been. Ever since, I'll throw something out if
even the tiniest bit in doubt. It's not worth a chance to me just to
save a few dollars. The day or two of work I lost was worth way more
than the entire contents of my fridge, not to mention feeling horrible
and a headache that felt more like an earthquake.

Even if it might be safe, you won't enjoy eating it if you are
wondering if it will get to you several hours later. No enjoyment in
that kind of meal no matter how good it tastes. And you're still
recovering from that serious foot injury, you don't need any chance of
food poisoning. I'm with you, get rid of it all and start over. Ignore
the people here that say you don't need to and joke you. Screw them
all!
