What Are The Symptoms Of Food Poisoning?
Question: Hi Doc,
I ate a bag of chips and once I finished I noticed it had 2 holes (.2 inch, .5 inch) possibly from mouse bite.
Looks like mouse or some other rodent had eaten/tried to eat the chips.
Now I'm not sure if I should be on the lookout of some kind of symptom of rodent poisoning, should I take some kind of preventive medicine etc. to avoid and any viral or bacterial infection due to this.
Regards,
XXXX

Hello XXXXXXX

Ate you having any kind of gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or vomiting or diarrhoea?

Was it packaged chips or open?
In my opinion there are less chances of any kind of poisoning, to be on safe, be vigilant for development of any symptoms and consult a doctor immediately.
Looking at your description and absence of any adverse complaints, no preventive medicine is required.

Hi Doc
I ate the chips around 1 hour back and as of now i dont have any adverse symptoms.
The chips packet was branded (lays) and it was packed from top.
After eating i saw mouse bites at the bottom of the packet.
