How sick can you get from....
I just bought a 99 cent tin can of chicken and rice soup. Im at college so I was hurngry. Basically I ate it all and now that I look at the inside of the tin can there were some rust spots here and then. So I am wondering if you can get sick from food that touched some rust?

If you've had your tetnus (sp?) booster within the last 5 years or so, you should be OK
|
I should be fine. I was worried for a second.
|
If it didn't taste bad, I think you'll be all right. But rust on the inside of the can means that oxygen has gotten into the contents, and that you've most likely eaten a lot of bacteria (most good, but some might have been bad)
|
If a mass exodus starts happening, you'll know...
|
A little rust never hurt anyone, at least not to my knowledge, which given the specific nature of the question is very limited. But as everyone has said, you'll notice if you start to get sick, people have eaten worst than that and not gotten ill.
|
There could (and I'd guess probably was) have been oxygen inside the can without a leak. From what I understand, a can that has leaked is a far from safe food item.
|
Often oxygen could be cause inside during the sealing process.
If the can bulged outwards at any part of it it's botchulism (sp?), one of the deadliest bacteria to humans. |
Im not sick yet... so I dont think Im going to get botchulism.
|
Is it the lack of oxygen or is it the sealed-sterilization process that canned goods go through that make them safe?
I assumed it was the high heat and air tightness that made them safe, not the lack of air inside. |

BUT, occasionally there's one that gets by, so... if you see a can that's bulged DO NOT eat it. And if it was botchulism... trust me you'd know it within 30min. |
i'd eat anything....and then get sick. Usually that happens to me in college.
