Anyone who has eaten leftovers knows that sometimes they taste even better than the original meal they came from. In addition, leftovers are an easy meal to make – you can just heat them up and eat them. However, it turns out that leftovers can also be very dangerous, and even deadly. Sadly, that was the case for a 20-year-old student, who passed away after eating five-day-old pasta.

It’s a case that was written about in the Journal of Clinical Microbiologya few years back, but has resurfaced due to some YouTube videos and Reddit posts. According to case reports, the student would make his meals for the week on Sunday so he wouldn’t have to deal with it on the weekdays. One Sunday, he cooked up some spaghetti and put it in Tupperware containers so that days later, he could just add some sauce to it and reheat it.

After five days of the pasta sitting out on the counter at room temperature, he heated some up and ate it. He noted an odd taste to the food but figured it was just due to the new tomato sauce he was using. He went out to play some sports but after 30 minutes, he had to come home due to nausea, abdominal pain and a headache. Diarrhea and vomiting followed so he drank water and tried to sleep it off. The next day, after he didn’t get out of bed for his classes, his parents checked on him and unfortunately, he had died.

4 day left overs please

How do they know he noticed an odd taste?

Nigga aint even put it in a fridge or non?

ngl 5 days is crazy, i wouldnt eat it if its more than 48hrs after

I give pasta 3 days and even then that s*** in the fridge

Dudes always be dropping during before or after sport activities just stop doing sports bro

Bro, I'm not even touching that s*** if it's 2 days out in summer. Food poisoning ain't no joke.

There was a video on this a few years ago. ChubbyEmu (Dr. Bernard) did a full in-depth study and a***ysis of it.

Why would it not immediately go into the fridge?

Time to ban pasta

And all pitbulls

Pasta one of the most overhyped, overrated, and played out food oat. I'm convinced that if it wasn't cheap hardly anyone would eat it.

RIP to the dude 💐

This the s*** they should teach in school too

That's gotta be the worst when you need to use the bathroom at the same time

Real nightmare scenario.

Will Pasta be discontinued now too?

5 days on the COUNTER is CRAZY, not even in the fridge

rip and all but this should be considered a suicide cause no person in their right mind would ever do that

Ban

oh yeah thats even more insane I didnt even peep he left it out on the counter and not the fridge

Imagine eating something you let sit on the counter for 1 day never mind 5 days

I’m suspicious if I leave s*** out on the counter for a few hours tbh f*** that

That nigga was 100% eating some mold
