I had oatmeal this morning with a spoonful of creatine in it. I used the spoon to scoop the powder and eat the oatmeal.

Its now lunchtime and I forgot a fork. So my spoon is still laced with creatine. My question is, am I going to die?

    The creatine on your spoon was exposed to air for quite some time now, which means it got the time to oxide. When ingesting rancid creatine after ingesting good creatine, an exothermic reation will take place in your muscle cells which will lead to spontaneous human combustion.

    Solution? Wash the spoon.

    my office doesn't have a sink to wash things. The only sink is in the bathroom, and people BM in there. No way I'm taking a utensil near that fecal bacteria factory!

    Yes, you will... Some dude did it at work a couple weeks ago. Horrible, just horrible. But I did get to move into his corner office, so I guess it wasn't THAT horrible...

    Wrap the spoon in plastic. Put in trash. Hopefully it goes straight to the landfill. That way you won't have to worry about the danger for at least another 300 years. If you don't have daily trash pickup, drop the spoon off at a fast food restaurant. They'll know what to do with it.

    yes- you'll die... slowly. over many many years.

    But ultimately the cause of death will be from the cross contamination.

    now go- eat in terrified silence.

    IN THE SINK! ewwwww what kind of office to you work at! :bigsmile:

    guess you'll just have to eat your lunch with your hands (i've had to do this before because all we have at work are plastic sporks - not very useful when trying to eat spaghetti)

    Just pretend your hands are forks. EAT ALL THE NOMS.

    Just lick it clean. What's a little kidney damage, anyway? Suck it up, sister!

    I would suggest getting a blender to turn your lunch salad into a shake and to avoid the chance or creatine cross contamination... ingest it as an enema... Seems like the only reasonable course of action to me.

    Plus... no need to brush your teeth!

    Can you go out at lunchtime & buy a box of plastic forks... or is it already lunchtime? That way you always have extra utensils in your desk. Is there someone that you work with that has extra utensils?

    Whenever I get the plastic utensils that come in the little baggie ... I keep them in my desk drawer for just such an occasion.
