Is It Safe To Eat Chips Spoiled By A Mouse?

I ate chips at lunch and didn't notice that the mouse that is in out house ate through the top. A small hole and I wasn't sure if the mouse got in. I didn't check the chips but it didn't look like there was anything on them. They looked normal and tasted as such. Can I get sick? When will the symptoms show if I do? Will I be okay? I ate them almost 5 hours ago and don't know if I feel nausea is from disgust or if I'm sick.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you do not have any direct evidence that the food you have eaten was contaminated with some rodent, it is just the psychology of the human being that creates the panic, more over if you do not have any symptoms directly related with food induced (Symptoms ) then it is nothing to worry, just forget about this, for sure you are not going to have any symptoms, hope this information helps.
