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?

This is why people from Europe and America get sick so often when they travel to second and third world places that don't understand food safety.

Sure you can leave the meat just dangling out if you do that your whole life and your body gets used to fighting off all the bacteria. It's not good for you in the long run but you can avoid some acute reactions.

This is why some people have an "iron gut" and can eat anything without getting sick.

Stop using toilet paper and use your hand while your at 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.

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.
