Hanging birds

Has anyone actually got sick?

I have not. I mean, it's not hard to tell if meat isn't fit to be eaten, & my hanging/aging birds have never gotten to that point. Not once. I can't say that aging birds affects the taste, but it definitely makes them more tender.
 
Has anyone actually got sick?

People get sick from food borne illness by the thousands in this country every day. If you've ever had a case of it from salmonella, e-coli, listeria, staph, or norovirus, you'd know it. And after an experience from it, you'd probably never forget it. I certainly haven't. Which is why I don't take risks with food anymore like this.

My experience was when I was 14. That's 30 years ago now. I'm not taking that risk ever again.

It comes down to personal risk. You might go your whole life without having an issue.
