I generally go with more of a 8-10 hour rule.

I have so many habits that make that look tame that I can’t comment negatively on it :)
You have the immunity system to prove it!.......................
Doesn't register with me until I see mold forming. If I catch it early enough, I'll scrape off the mold and nuke it in the microwave for a minute.
I'll be 62 in May. I'll make an exception for moldy bread, though. If the mold is larger than a penny, it's gone.

What, you never did?
Bacteria are not motile. They depend on being physically picked up, through adherence to another surface or riding along with some other means of motility.
A definite part of your body weight is already bacteria, so a few more ingested or coming into contact with your body do not normally make that much difference. In fact most pathogens have direct antagonists from other species of bacteria, as well as antibodies created by the host on which they find themselves.

If I get it before the cat/dog scarfs it up, it's mine!
