I ate burnt meat.
I just found out that eating burnt meat can make you sick, do i have a chance to not get sick? I read that if my immune system is high (95% food, water, health and blood) then you are immune to sickness but i don't think I was at or above 95%. I ate a multivitamin like i think 20+ minutes later or so. Do i still have a chance to be okay?

in case of food poisoning charcoal tabs are your best friend.

you can also take them preventive to eating rotten or burnt foods.
thus you won' t get sick at all, even if your immune system isn't maxed out.

Charcoal is good for your teeth.

Immunity and vitamins don't prevent food poisoning. Charcoal should help a bit but the poisoning will pass on it's own anyway in a couple of minutes.

You can eat burnt and rotten food, and unknown food cans, by taking a small bites at a time and waiting a minute or so between bites. That way the poisoning will have time to clear before actually activating.

maybe good immunity doesn't prevent food poisoning but it has an effect on the course of the disease for sure.

Immunity doesn't affect it at all. I actually tested just now how fast you recover from a poisoning that's just above the level where the symptons kick in: with 100% immunity = 2 min 30s. With 20% immunity = 2 min 30s. Oddly though, antibiotics help with chemical poisoning apparently; they shortened the sickness to 1:40.

good to know...can't remember the last time I was sick but it sounds they simplified the system a bit?

Ummm, I don't remember them simplifying it per se in the recent years.
I think you may be confusing the "poisoning" with the more dangerous cholera or salmonella where the immunity is still a factor. Poisoning has always healed very quickly without any meds. It's more like an swift and light penalty for doing a stupid thing like drinking gasoline.
