actual raw chicken won't cause any harm unless you get ill from these bacteria. not all raw chicken has enough of these bacteria to cause harm. given that it was out of date it is more likely to have greater quantities of these bacteria. try not to think 'raw chicken will make you ill' or you could start thinking you are ill when you're not. i get it a lot when i've eaten half a meal (say chicken kiev, or in my worst case a piece of fish) and suddenly see ooh it looks a bit undercooked. in reality it's probably fine, and people eat raw food all the time with no consequences, but i make myself think i'm ill and will get stomach pains from it etc, when everyone else who has eaten the same has been absolutley fine.
if you start to feel ill see a dr, in the meantime try to relax. mand x
