No one in my home has ever gotten sick.
I drove without a seatbelt once and didn't get into an accident … so I shouldn't worry bout using one. ????
(IOW, beware of arguments based on a sample size of one or even two.)

How long can you leave your Thanksgiving dinner on the table before running the risk of it spoiling?
Are there any particular items you should be concerned about?
You have two hours from the time you take your food out of the oven until it needs to be refrigerated.
In particular, make sure you refrigerate the turkey, stuffing, gravy, anything with milk and anything with eggs, and rice.
Basically, anything with a little bit of protein in it can become hazardous if left out too long.
