What if your husband left a fork in the jar of pickles.... for month.... are they still good. And what I find out until AFTER ate 4 pickles?

It is possible that the pickles are still safe to eat, but it is not recommended.

* _The presence of the fork in the jar could have introduced bacteria, especially if the tines of the fork had been used for anything (for example, stirring food) with other surfaces._ _This creates conditions suitable for the growth of bacteria, that would cause spoilage, if not outright, illness_.

What should you do if you have eaten pickles from a jar that had a fork in it?

Monitor yourself: _You should look for symptoms like, fever, vomiting, cramping._ Contact your doctor especially if you are part of a vulnerable population (elderly, under 5, immunosuppressed) or the pickles look or smell abnormal (molding, off color.).
