Oh my, I have done this and went through the mental gymnastics before. The deal is, I think, with bacon it wll be great, because it is salt cured, it will be fine.
Get the most sensitive smeller, haha, in your family to smell it. If it has no off smell, fry and eat.
Really, it is pretty forgiving, after all, I used to see my Mom shave mold off the edge of bacon, and have never heard anything that might hurt you, other than a long period in a very hot place, then you would have a decidedly rotten smell.
I will stop now, because I realize some younger, more refined fellers might think it is beyond redemption.
I am telling you not so. Matter of fact, you could leave it another day and night and still be good.
Really and truly.

Being right will save you $8 in bacon and you get to eat bacon.

Being wrong will cost you $8 in toilet paper.

I'd save the blown out O-ring.

I eat at Magoos. Pretty sure that bacon would have no effect on me.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

How does heat destroy the toxin? It is probably different, but the toxins in algae blooms that impact drinking water from time to time can't be boiled out. Heck, they can't even filter it out in most cases.

Toxin implies a poison that was biologically produced. Many consist of peptides or fully formed proteins, both of which can be denatured by heat. If the 3 dimensional structure is irreversibly changed, then the toxicity may be significantly lessened or eliminated because it won't bind in the same way or to the same thing.

^^^^What he said. The toxin is a protein. Like I said in an earlier post, I looked for about 10 minutes. I'm not any kind of expert. I read information from CDC, WHO, and Ohio State to come to my conclusion.

There's a wealth of knowledge on the forum and I learn from it everyday.

Sometimes people make statements that just seem off or don't pass the smell test, so I look them up to further my own understanding. For example, this product is "chemical free" and yet the main ingredient is water. I don't believe calling something a chemical automatically makes it bad.

Same goes for bacteria. There's plenty of good bacteria that we can't live without and of course there are others that can kill us. When it was posted that while cooking kills the bacteria, but not the toxins, I figured this was something I should know more about.

It's a discussion and my goal is never to prove anyone wrong or myself right, but rather to further my own understanding of whatever topic is that I'm interested in. I'm wrong quite a bit, it's how I learn.

Agree. I'm obviously not an expert either, but I like to learn. I just remember what a chef friend told me.

It made me curious in regards to other possible applications, like the algae bloom toxin issue from a few years ago in the Midwest. It would be nice to know if boiling the water would destroy that toxin as well.
