I accidently just drank a fizzy drink that has been open and sitting in my bedroom window for over a month. I spat it out when I realised but swallowed some. Will this have any effect on me?

No xxx
I just poured the rest away and it was pure brown with stuff swimming in it and a big black thing. So scared now. What shall I do? Surely this will kill me? It used to be lemonade
You may get a very short stomachache if you swallowed enough, which by the sounds of it you didn't. The worse is your probably a little grossed out by it. I ate half a slice of mouldy toasted bread before, how the hell didn't I notice it was green until I was over halfway through. It just made me pull a face, threw it out and... Nothing happened at all. You'll be fine xxx
The average ph of carbonated drinks is apparently around 4.5...barely any pathogenic bacteria can survive in that environment...not to mention all the sugar.
In addition your stomach acid will also destroy any bacteria.
You'll be fine x
This mould was really dark and as it's been festering for over a month I'm terrified. Should I seek medical help?

"It used to be lemonade" ~lol~ Sorry, that made me laugh. I cleaned out the fridge at work the other day and there were some things growing in there that could have been the next cure for cancer!
Seriously thought, you'll be fine. If I lived after my kids puked in my mouth while playing with them, you'll live too. At worst it's turned into penicillin and it'll fight off infections I do have to question whether it was still fizzy after a month on the window sill...

Nope! My daughter drank moldy Gatorade once... Didn't do a thing...

I can't tell you how many times I've phoned a 'professional' about mould, even the poison line - they have all said the same thing.
If you continuously did this then you'd be affecting your system and need help - if you did it once then nothing will happen, worse case is you may feel sick but even then they said it would be unlikely.
