Hi everyone,
So I do have pretty severe health anxiety and I usually go through what I call “waves”. I’ll be okay for a while, then I’ll have a period of time where I feel more anxious. Right now I am feeling more anxious.
I had just made myself some taco bowls with a spicy black bean burger from the store. I topped it with some veggies and then sour cream and salsa. I took a few bites and noticed a weird sour, “fizzy” taste. I had already swallowed the bites that I took. I spit it out after tasting that. I noticed it was the salsa. It was a store bought jar, and it is supposed to expire in 2019... I went to go smell it after and it honestly smells like beer! This salsa has been in my fridge for maybe a month or two. Is it possible I could get botulism from this??? This wasn’t home made salsa, it was store bought (not fresh). When I previously used it, it did not taste like this. Sometimes when I used it I used the same spoon that had sour cream on it so there were some remnants of sour cream in the salsa jar. It was stored in my fridge. I don’t know much about botulism. I just found out about it today after looking on the web like always.
