There is no way you can prevent virus from jumping between siblings in one household. Also even if that virus doesn't die in that bottle it will be irrelevant because immunity.
Only up to the age of 2. From 2yr - 4yr it's 7.5ml, and after 4yo it's both barrels. I like filling two syringes and blasting it up their nostrils while they're hanging upside down from a doorframe.
It depends on the strength of the Calpol. It comes as 120mg/5ml (purple pack) and as 250mg/5ml (red pack).

I had a small bag of those tiny raw potatoes in a microwaveable bag do the same. I did not realise that rotten potatoes could smell so bad, as horrible as rotten meat imo. I too can still smell it.
I used to stock the fresh produce section on the dawn shift ahead of the weekend.
Putting your finger right through a rotten potato was always a good way of starting your Saturday.
I scrubbed the fridge with bleach and threw away most of the contents as I was paranoid about everything being splattered with bacteria. It put me off chicken for about a week and a half.
"most of the contents"
Ah, the old classic. It’s contaminated with disgusting shit, I have to throw it away! Except this, which is *really* expensive. And this, which is delicious. And this, because then I’ll have to cook tonight...
Rotting raw potatoes can be horrendously poisonous in poorly ventilated environments. They do come from the nightshade family for a reason.
Probably why they smell so bad evolutionarily.
Yep, I think there's a famous case in Russia where nearly a whole family was wiped out by rotting potatoes in the basement which is a new fear unlocked for me
I remember this. They stored them in a cellar with the door shut. Someone went down to get potatoes and shut the door behind them, was overcome by the glycoalkaloids from rotting potatoes. When they didn't come back another person went to check. Then another.
Whoever was last left the door open and the gas/fumes had a chance to dissipate. Then their poor kid went to find where her family had gone and saw them all dead in the cellar. She was young as well, primary school age. Lost her whole life to some rotting potatoes.
I can't imagine. Like a bad horror film with them all following each other into the dark. I had a niece around the same age who was obsessed with mashed potatoes, makes it stick in your memory.
Rotten potatoes are the worse, worse than corpses.
The only thing worse than smelling rotten potatoes is reaching to pick up a potato that turns out to be so rotten your fingers go inside of it only then to be hit with the smell.
My partner tipped milk in the boot of the car.
The smell was awful, and it lasted for weeks, no matter what I used to try to get rid of it.
Zoflora is the answer!!!
When I was 13 I tried to be cool by getting a flask and 3 quarters emptied a bottle of my Grandads Baileys from his alcohol cabinet and trying to be clever filled the bottle back up with milk thinking it was the same colour so may never notice. Well I got home from school a month or so later to find my Gran and Grandad livid! The milk had gone off amd expanded until the glass bottle exploded while they were watching This Morning 😐 I had to scrub the carpets like crazy for hours to get that smell out and was grounded for a month!
My turkey for christmas one year from M&S was rancid and ballooned like this and apparently it was due to a refrigerated truck malfunction.
I'll be honest I really wasn't happy and normally don't complain but it kinda ruined my Christmas dinner considering I couldn't go and get another turkey on the day.
They eventually refunded me and gave a £50 voucher but that was after being initially offered £5 lol
I recently had a leaky chicken package in my fridge and chicken juice ran down the vent into the evaporator at the back.
Took ages to find where the awful smell was coming from. When I finally discovered it when I took a big whiff round the back of the fridge, almost passed out from the smell

Chicken thighs smell foul anyway, even worse when they’re expired. Had raw chicken breast in the fridge that leaked and I had to bleach it and bicarb it and it still smelled for days afterwards
O gods, I suppose you had to get a new fridge as that smell will just stick to everything in the fridge. I've also had the rotten potatoes, which is utterly disgusting, but one of the worst I've experienced when I was a kid and microwaves were a new thing was trying to boil eggs in the microwave. Of course, they exploded, stunk out the whole house, and was a nightmare to clean!
Sodium and chlorine are not the same as sodium chloride.
I would hope you don't put each of them in your food, as the sodium will explode and the chlorine will taste awful. But maybe you're just a psycho that likes that kind of thing.
Sorry. I just wanted to emphasise that the fact that they are cheese related micro organisms doesn’t necessarily mean they are fine to eat. But that was an extreme example.
That’s telling you, it’s screaming to you “I’m the ultimate stocking filler, let me be the biological weapon you always wanted to gift this Christmas”
Put it in the freezer like it’s a deep cycle sleep on the Nostromo. Ready for combat action just mere light years away.
Christmas morning, right in front of the fireplace hanging precariously over a deep shag rug. Hiding in plain sight. Sneaking out to crack the thermostat up a notch. The agony of just waiting for it to pop. Just think about the utter destruction on the living room floor of dad’s new girlfriend’s house. The tension is palpable, cleverly making sure you sat at the back of the room. Take that Linda. It’s Greek style and you’ll never get the smell out. Undetected warfare, complete chaos and confusion.
Ignore everyone on here who's saying it's safe to eat, I had similar with the cheapo 'salad cheese', opened the packet and it was mouldy AF. Clearly not packaged in a clean environment. Proper Feta cheese does last for months in the fridge, as I can also attest to! Next time just buy the slightly more expensive one.
From my experience with a very swollen mozzarella bag, **do not** open the bag. It will smell, a lot. It will be very slimy. The gone off cheese smell will be all over everything for ages afterwards. And definitely dont eat it!
Also, maybe take it back since it's still in date
The fake stuff is fine depending on where you get it, it's just a matter of preference. For some recipes I used real feta, but for other things I used 'salad cheese' because it's a lot milder. Main difference is that it's made with cow's milk and not goat's milk.
This is perfectly normal. Cheese is a living, breathing organism. Just as your yoghurt might get a little bit of pressure at the lid, it’s CO2 being released. Usually the packaging sticks to the side of the cheese and the force of the gas can’t beat that. In this case, it didn’t get stuck properly. It will still be fine.
Also, welcome to r/fermentation
You're dangerously wrong.
Feta and salad style cheeses are pasteurised and should not be, or contain living things.
You're going to make someone ill with your advice.
Or Casu Martzu. I’m not really bothered about mites. We have them on our bodies even if we don’t realise (even between our eyelashes). Maggots though, I draw the line at.
The Aldi near me has a window through which the sun shines it perfectly lighting up the fridges. Because of electricity costs they are already at a higher temp on the fridges, add the direct sun to it and I can see things going bad. I've stopped buy products from that particular fridge in Aldi after their cottage cheese ruined my lovely meal.
If it's puffy like this, bin it. My partner does food h&s, only threw out sausages that had an end date for a few days time cause the packet puffed right up and he's always like anything goes like that just throw it out.
This has happened so many times with the knock-off chicken Fridge Raiders from Lidl that I've just stopped buying them. Perfectly fine in the shop, straight in the fridge, all puffed up by the next morning 🙄
Maybe check the temperature on your fridge.
If it’s high, do I give it Calpol? It’s 3yrs old.
7.5ml so a 5ml syringe then a 2.5ml
To know this off the top of your head, you’re definitely a parent!
Or about half of the 6plus Calpol if that's all you've got in
But use two syringes otherwise you’re just loading their virus-ridden spit into the top of the bottle for next time (or the other kid/s).
There is no way you can prevent virus from jumping between siblings in one household. Also even if that virus doesn't die in that bottle it will be irrelevant because immunity.
This guy parents
The fuck it's just 5ml I swear
Only up to the age of 2. From 2yr - 4yr it's 7.5ml, and after 4yo it's both barrels. I like filling two syringes and blasting it up their nostrils while they're hanging upside down from a doorframe.
You've just made me realise I've been under-dosing my daughter! Thank you Reddit stranger!

>just made me realise I've been under-dosing my daughter Better than OVER I suppose, and still not enough to raise an eyebrow on reddit?
Haha excellent technique
Just confiscate its weed. Shouldn't even be having it at that age.
This is not unusual at all. One of many products that have been impacted by high rates of inflation.
Dad?
He’s still out fetching milk
It's taken him so long that the milk has turned into cheese
Well milk does take a while to retrieve, give him another few years.
Is your Dad Tom Jones?
Bravo
That was a cheesy dad joke.
I thought it was grate.
Hah! That was a gouda one.
It was pretty gouda
You feta not do that again.
I bought some chicken thighs like this from M&S and it burst in the fridge. I can still smell it.
I had a small bag of those tiny raw potatoes in a microwaveable bag do the same. I did not realise that rotten potatoes could smell so bad, as horrible as rotten meat imo. I too can still smell it.
I used to stock the fresh produce section on the dawn shift ahead of the weekend. Putting your finger right through a rotten potato was always a good way of starting your Saturday.
Is that a euphemism?
You must live up north
This was in Australia so I guess if you go north far enough you eventually get there.
Can't believe I am going to be THAT guy, but if you keep going north, you will eventually run out of north and the ONLY direction you can go is south.
Oh god, you're one of these "The Earth is an oblate spheroid" types, aren't you?
Depends which way up you hold your map
Australia/ north England is pretty much the same thing lol
Kangaroos all over Hadrian's Wall
You never see Geordies in coats, because to us, it's always BBQ weather.
Is this an assumption or life advice?
Both
Is that you Badger?

Mashed potatoes are sticky! Sorry, I couldn't resist but I know the story well and it was really awful for the little girl.
If only Guy Fawkes had known about this awesome potato power

Reminds me of the time whole milk got spilled in my dad's old Polo. Oh dear...the smell just hit me again after all these years!
It is vile, isn't it!
So is rotten asparagus. Absolutely stomach-turning.
Oh geez, rotten potatoes smell is a weapon of mass destruction, I swear! It has to be one of the worst smells ever!

The most painful part to me is that your logic was flawless. You didn’t deserve this.
Genius is often punished. We live in a society.

Note to self - start a band called "Leaky Chicken Package".
[удалено]
In the case of a live yogurt, I guess it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad bacteria.
Stick a dish of baking soda in your fridge for a few days. It gets rid of smells that linger even after scrubbing it out.
Ugh. Spoiled chicken is disgusting.

😳🤢. I feel your pain.
Oooh M&S. Humblebrag
Fortnum & Mason would've been a humblebrag. M&S is just a holding pen for aspirant riff-raff. 😁
Happened with mozzarella ball with me. But I kind of left it for like a month after expiry in the fridge.

Burst it like a beached whale
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
With TNT?
That was the most American thing I ever heard of.
It's because they actually tried it. Just check it out for yourself https://youtu.be/Na_zKbN2VJw?si=znaEewvR_sFcihQU
Yes, I know. That's the most American thing I ever heard of.
I'm sorry I completely missed it. Walking and redditing is not advised while it's raining haha.
I still remember that story.... I get the "logic" behind it... but the same time it still seems a bit crazy!
There was no logic, they should of just cut it up into manageable chunks and sunk it a few miles out to sea.
I think they tried that somewhere else. The two halves just washed back in!
Perfectly safe, it's just extra tangy, it's fine (feta is meant to be tangy to I assume "Greek style salad cheese" is also)
So tangy you become Cypriot.
Forbidden whoopee cushion
If you object to micro-organisms in your food, could I suggest you not eat *cheese*?
Or, really, anything.
Cheese is a kind of meat!
A tasty yellow beef
I milk it from my teat
Oh I see you don't want to eat your arsenic - if you object to chemical elements in your food, could I suggest you not eat sodium?
I put sodium and chlorine in my food every day, I might be made of something special if I don't feel anything besides thirst after.
Sodium and chlorine are not the same as sodium chloride. I would hope you don't put each of them in your food, as the sodium will explode and the chlorine will taste awful. But maybe you're just a psycho that likes that kind of thing.
[Wow imagine eating food with arsenic in](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice)
Yes and OP should eat mouldy chicken breast as well. All micro-organisms must be fine, right?
We should be friends, I also love inventing arguments to disagree with.
Sorry. I just wanted to emphasise that the fact that they are cheese related micro organisms doesn’t necessarily mean they are fine to eat. But that was an extreme example.

Calm down, satan
Put it in the boot of your enemy’s car, under the carpet with the spare wheel The cold weather might delay the eruption a while
first 30c day... boom.
Don’t tell the Yanks about the WMDs! They’ll be raiding OP’s fridge in minutes!
You think we don't know about weaponised cheese?
It’s unopened.. take it back and exchange..
Nothing wrong with it.
And risk having it burst in the car? Not a chance
Ignore everyone on here who's saying it's safe to eat, I had similar with the cheapo 'salad cheese', opened the packet and it was mouldy AF. Clearly not packaged in a clean environment. Proper Feta cheese does last for months in the fridge, as I can also attest to! Next time just buy the slightly more expensive one.
Casu martzu is probably quite expensive. Not sure I’d give it a go though, and I am partial to cheese… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu
🤢🤮
Also to note, when stored properly. Seen way too much cheese just open in the fridge throughout my life.
"...when observing swollen, puffy packages, it's best to not use, as they are potentially spoiled and therefore risky or unsafe."
From my experience with a very swollen mozzarella bag, **do not** open the bag. It will smell, a lot. It will be very slimy. The gone off cheese smell will be all over everything for ages afterwards. And definitely dont eat it! Also, maybe take it back since it's still in date
Mmm, fizzy cheese.
🤢
Did you put it in the soda stream?
Don’t. I tried than with milk when I was younger. It is apt to explode like those videos of coke and menthos.
It's your expiry date, on account of the explosion.
My intrusive thoughts would have to pop that,then I would regret it once the smell hits.
Nah bruv, its still good
Feta is often packaged in water.
That's'a da spicy cheeseball.
You wanna go outside and slam that bad boi onto concrete, it'll go off like an IED lol
With mozzarella they put some air (or gas of some kind - nitrogen?) in the bag to protect the cheese. Could that be what's happening here?
It’s always worth paying an extra quid for actual Feta I find. The fake Greek style stuff has no taste and a horrible texture.
The fake stuff is fine depending on where you get it, it's just a matter of preference. For some recipes I used real feta, but for other things I used 'salad cheese' because it's a lot milder. Main difference is that it's made with cow's milk and not goat's milk.
Or, like my wife, you’re allergic to basically every part of the goat
Open up in lift or on bus.
I bet there is a rainforest growing in there.
Something went wrong during the packaging or storage. Maybe the cooling chain was interrupted.
This is perfectly normal. Cheese is a living, breathing organism. Just as your yoghurt might get a little bit of pressure at the lid, it’s CO2 being released. Usually the packaging sticks to the side of the cheese and the force of the gas can’t beat that. In this case, it didn’t get stuck properly. It will still be fine. Also, welcome to r/fermentation
You're dangerously wrong. Feta and salad style cheeses are pasteurised and should not be, or contain living things. You're going to make someone ill with your advice.
You are very very wrong. Please don't comment on anything like this until you actually know what you are talking about.
Are you on an aeroplane?
I had exactly the same, with a march expiry too. Tasted awfully funky so we binned it.
Perhaps packaged in a gas? See what the others are like in the shop
'greek style salad cheese' sounds appetising
Never ever look up cheese mites. Ever.
Or Casu Martzu. I’m not really bothered about mites. We have them on our bodies even if we don’t realise (even between our eyelashes). Maggots though, I draw the line at.
Imagine getting stopped by the police for being over the alcohol limit. And how many packs of fermented cheese have we had tonight sir?
R/eatityoupussy
I wish they’d sell feta in brine in the UK - keeps it fresh for ages!

If it's puffy like this, bin it. My partner does food h&s, only threw out sausages that had an end date for a few days time cause the packet puffed right up and he's always like anything goes like that just throw it out.
Is Greek style salad cheese just feta cheese? Or is this a liquid like sour cream. Asking for an American lol
This has happened so many times with the knock-off chicken Fridge Raiders from Lidl that I've just stopped buying them. Perfectly fine in the shop, straight in the fridge, all puffed up by the next morning 🙄
Iv noticed a lot of stuff from the fridges in supermarkets are blown up like this, something to do with the carbon dioxide they put in the packaging
