I ate expired dressing. Should I be worried?
Hi! So basically a few minutes ago I had a salad. I put a French dressing on top of it. I ate it, it didn't taste any different. But me being me (a nervous wreck about dates) I check it. It expired in March. That was 3 months ago. It was in the refrigerator, and it wasn't warm or anything. Will it make me sick? My stomach is kinda hurting now but I think that's because I'm nervous. It doesn't take a few minutes to affect you I don't think. But any feed back? Thanks! :)
Is it ok to eat expired salad dressing?
Not according to my husband. I few years ago I made my husband a salad and gave him the bottle of dressing and he said I was trying to kill him because it was expired... P.S. He did not die!
What happens if you eat expired poppyseed dressing?!?
My mom made a chicken craisin salad with dinner tonight, and the recipe uses an entire container of Marzetti's poppyseed dressing. Turns out, the dressing we used expired in FEBRUARY... I looked at the ingredients, and the one that worried me the most was egg yolk. The salad didn't taste too different, and we all only had like a cup each. Are we going to be sick? Please help, I'm really concerned. Thanks! :)
Can two to three teaspoons of nutmeg really kill you?
Not many know this, but it is claimed that nutmeg is technically a hallucinogenic drug. Consuming .2 ounces can cause convulsions while eating .3 ounces can stir up hallucinations. For those who feel a bit braver, they can eat a whole nutmeg, but be warned, you’ll enter what’s called “nutmeg psychosis,” which can lead to death.However, as it turns out, the science is unclear as to how much of the spice is actually harmful, but there are plenty of examples of its dangerous effects when consumed in large doses. It takes a fair amount of nutmeg — two tablespoons or more — before people start exhibiting symptoms. These can include an out-of-body sensation, but the most common are intense nausea, dizziness, extreme dry mouth, and a lingering slowdown of normal brain function.The usual holiday samplings of nutmeg — the dusting on eggnog or a cocktail, the quarter-teaspoon sprinkle that goes into a pie or cake — is not a risk to those who love the stuff. In those doses, the woodsy, sweet flavor should simply be enjoyed.
What should you not feed squirrels?
You will probably see someone answering this question with “DON’T FEED THEM ANYTHING!” or some variation thereof. And while this is usually sound advice with wild animals, squirrels are a bit of an exception. They are extremely acclimated to living around humans, and their behavioral health is not detrimentally impacted from regular human interaction the way it can be for, say, bears.That said, squirrels shouldn’t be fed just anything. They love peanuts, but peanuts actually aren’t that good for them. (Despite the name, peanuts aren’t actually nuts, they are legumes, and not a natural food for tree squirrels.) Tree nuts like walnuts, almonds, and cashews are better. And NEVER feed them salted or sugared snacks. Salt especially can be very harmful to them. And sugar… well, think of it like kids: they would eat candy all day if you let them. Squirrels would do the same. And do you really want a bunch of squirrels amped up on sugar? Heh. Stick with fresh fruit and vegetables, unsalted/unseasoned raw nuts, and seeds.With a little patience it usually doesn’t take long to get them to eat right out of your hand (or even hop up onto your lap). Pick a spot near where they usually feed and sit quietly with some treats (I have found that almonds are most favored by eastern grey squirrels). Try to avoid sudden movements and sounds. Toss the treats to the squirrels in small quantities, bringing them closer to you every time. Eventually they will trust you enough to come right up to you. This works with chipmunks too. But be warned! Once they have gotten to know you they will never leave you alone!
What are the health effects of dogs eating sunflower seeds?
While most people have answered you the exact same thing, which is that they CAN have them and they SHOULD be shelled and unsalted, that is not exactly answering your question.If you are wondering if feeding your dogs sunflower seeds would be a healthy addition to their diet, I would generally say yes, but keep in mind, just like humans, what one person eats with no issues another might react poorly to it.I have two dogs, both very different. They tend to like different foods, but we do try and feed them relatively the same. They have very varied diets, compared to almost every dog we know. They get all kinds of meat and fish, fruit and veggies, grains, seeds, nuts, breads, cheese, other dairy, yogurt, rice, and various tasty not so good for them foods. They rarely have any form of pet foods, and although everyone tells us that they will get very fat, they are almost 13 and within a couple pounds of their weight when they were 2.If I had a bag of shelled seeds, I would toss a handful in their dinner every night and see if it bothers them. If I had a few unshelled and salted ones in my hand and my dog ate them, I wouldn’t even worry since they tend to eat everything and not too much bothers them. But since I do not know your dog, I cannot predict the outcome. I find testing them with new foods and keeping an eye on their poop to be the most beneficial.So what I am saying is, I find a varied and wide diet to be the most healthy thing for MY dogs, and I think it would benefit many other dogs in the world. Not all dogs can eat a wide variety of food, just like humans, so take your individual dog into account.
