Hi, thanks in advance for reading. Basically, I went camping this weekend - went on the Saturday, came back this evening (Sunday). My friend cooked a chilli this evening which contained mince meat. I fell asleep just as she was finishing making it. When I woke up (about 3 hours later) I ate some of the chilli. My problem is that I didn't realise that the mince meat hadn't been in the fridge prior to cooking. It had been put in a cool box when it was frozen and left there for a day and a half inside a van! And it's been really hot yesterday and today. In addition to this, once it had been cooked, it had been left out in the warmth for a few hours before I ate it (it was still warm when I ate it).
So basically, I think I'm almost certainly going to get food poisoning. But not only that, I'm also completely catastrophising and thinking that it's going to be really bad and that I'm going to end up in hospital and possibly even get septicemia. I have suspected inflammatory bowel disease, so I think that food poisoning would be more severe for me.
I really can't think about anything else right now. I regret eating it so so much. I feel like for the next week I'll just be waiting for the inevitable food poisoning. I don't know how to stop obsessing over it. Any advice would be great. Thanks
