I just ate about 50g of mustard and for some reason it tasted really bitter, then I remembered I had opened that jar and left it sitting in my room for months (I mean the lid was closed but it had been opened so the seal was broken).
How likely am I to get botulism from this? Should I make myself throw up just in case?

What is Ph?

My eyelids are starting to feel tired, that's freaking me out a bit. Hope it's just my imagination
It's probably fine with all the preservatives. Even if it did make you sick, it probably wouldn't be botulism
Dunno, I never store my mustard in the fridge and it hasn't gone bad once

mustard has tons of vinegar, you should be fine

No it doesn't.
Mustard lasts about a month unrefrigerated. I doubt you're going to get fucking BOTULISM. Maybe the shits.
Botulism?? Seriously OP? Chill the fuck out.

you should head to the ER IMMEDIATELY.
Doctors love to see little whiny bitches with no real problems wasting their time
isn't prepared mustard the only food other than honey that's chemically incapable of spoiling?

It's far too acidic to develop botulism, nignog. I wish you fuckers who see botulism hiding everywhere would do a little research on the shit. I see people thinking they can get botulism from homebrewed beer or wine, pickles, and vinegar based salad dressings for christsakes.
It must come from these stupid overprotective baby boomer mothers who saw death for their precious little snowflake lurking everywhere and passed those fears on. No wonder these last couple generations have produced a large crop of feminized males.
doesn't botulism require anaerobic conditions? also you'd be fucked by the time you typed this anyway

>eating 50 grams of mustard without anything else
I mean i love mustard, but 50g of the stuff??
botulinum toxin grows in anaerobic environments
since you broke the seal it's not an anaerobic environment so you don't have botulism

You probably won't get botulism. You might get some other foodborne illness. But you'll probably just end up with shits that burn like no other.
