You are fine you didnt even have enough to affect your body Health Question & Answer

It just really depends on the chicken.Some contain e.coli/salmonella and some do not.

You just have to wait it out for a couple of days and see.If you start vomiting and/or producing diarrhea, you probably have a case of food poisoning.

Just make sure you are careful next time.Although food poisoning is usually harmless if you are a healthy adult and keep hydrated, it is extremely unpleasant.

If you do have it, lets hope that it will be a mild case.

Just remember to not psych yourself out or you could get physical symptoms from the anxiety (like stomach aches)

If you are fine by tomorrow, you will more than likely be alright.If you are fine by the day after tomorrow, I wouldn't worry about it.

Good luck.Health Question & Answer

depending on how the chicken was handled prior to your buttering it, you may be at risk for a minor salmonella infection. You'll know it if you get diarrhea or vomiting within the next few hours. If not, you're fine.Health Question & Answer

It will not create any problem. Don't worry about it until any symptoms of a stomach ache take place and this will not happen because you licked so little that your stomach enzymes will destroy any bad bacteria if any exist.Health Question & Answer
