Urgent care is closed, won't open until tomorrow. Had dad run me to the store and they don't carry an ear kit with the bulb sadly. So I'm wondering if I'd be safe to try out some of this expired sudafed to see if it doesn't unclog my ear. Or should I just wait one more day and go tomorrow to the care place?

For most foods you can use your nose and eyes to know when something really goes bad.

Eh, this can be a dangerous game with any kind of meat (particularly seafood). I've had a few bad incidents with shellfish that passed the smell test.

Shy of outright seeing fungus on something, you're usually fine with fruit and veggies and cheese and such. But if it didn't come out of the freeze, I'm going to be spectacle of any protein past the expiration date.

That's true. Meats and seafood can sometimes be tough. People should trust their own judgment.
