Raw turkey juice touched my lip

[Anonymous]

I was making the smitten kitchen crispy chicken pea and turkey meatball recipe (highly recommend) when a bit of raw turkey… juice? flipped up from my spoon where I was mixing the meatball mixture and landed on my lip. The inside. I must have been mouth breathing. I am dying. Have you ever gotten sick from raw poultry? I treat it like a freaking biohazard usually, so this was fairly upsetting.

Tell me, am I going to throw up later?

[Anonymous]

Nope. You will not throw up tonight.

Get your affairs in order ASAP.

Not joking.


P.S. I’m joking. But take a Xanax (to quote Ramona Singer)

Cut off your lips before it spreads! No don't do that. You'll be ok

Take 2 Pepto Bismol. Should have done that asap after rinsing mouth with Listerine.

Listerine!

My Eastern European mom used to eat raw ground beef to make sure she seasoned it right. So gross. But she never got sick. You’ll be fine! The likelihood of you getting sick is quite low.

You will be fine.

Envisioning doing this in my kitchen I thought, "gross" but I happily pay for beef carpaccio and steak tartare in nicer restaurants so really have no room to talk.

I really want to turn the OP into a poem. There was something so poetic about the subject line.

You will be fine.
