Then in America fajitas in a sealed bag if left out for 2 hours the frame says throw it away

Cooked food sitting at room temperature is in what the USDA calls the “Danger Zone,” which is between 40°F and 140°F. In this range of temperatures, bacteria grows rapidly and the food can become unsafe to eat, so it should only be left out no more than two hours.

Are we just giant pussys in America or what? I see meat not frozen or cold at room temperature outball day and people eat it?

Lol! I left seasoned fajita meat that was sealed in a bag out over night. Was just wondering if they were truly dangerous or if I could just cook them well done and they would be fine to eat?

You can try cooking and eating it. You might get sick. You might get nauseous or have the shits. You might be ok. If it's just you eating it go ahead and do an experiment and find out.

That's what I told tbe overly cautious woman. I said don't throw it out I'm going to smell it then cook it more then normal and see what happens.. didn't want to just chunk 12 dollars or fajitas

Think about it like this. If you are cooking it then you're killing all the bacteria. So you can't get a bacterial infection from the food. The only danger if the bacteria already present produced toxins, specifically ones not destroyed through cooking. Our body is good at detecting such toxins through smell and taste.

How drunk are you? More typos than usual. It's never a good idea to make these types of decisions shitfaced. However, I see this is 8hrs later... so....

...how'd it go?

Don't do it. You have too much to live for.

Sure, you can cook it and kill all the bacteria. But that's not what is going to make you sick. All the dead bacteria and their decomposed corpses is what will make you sick.

Well, like said: the toxins they produce. But, yeah. I'd give it the good ol' whiff test and go from there.
