Or will it make me sick? It is the kind of mozzarella that is kept in liquid. Forgot to put it away when I was putting away groceries last night...grrr.. I really want to make a salad with it tonight.

Yes, cheese DOES NOT require refridgeration it was invented to carry milk across the desert.

Also the salt in the brine stops it from going bad.
Oh and cheese makers age cheese at room temp.

Depends on lots of conditions. How long? What temperature was the room? Warm, then no. Coolish, then go for it. Eat some now. Just a little & see how you feel in two hours. Some people are really susceptible to foods that are even a little off. Others have steel guts. If you are very old or are feeding young children(under, say, six) then don't risk it though. Good luck!

That's iffy...cheese is pretty good about lasting outside of the fridge, but I don't know about liquid cheese...I've never heard of that actually...
What does the container say? Was it refrigerated when you bought it? If so...go ahead and open it...smell and taste it...if it smells/tastes okay you're probably not in too bad of shape...
It's just up to you if you want to risk it...

I say just eat it. Did you put it in the fridge right after you discovered it was left out? I have a feeling you'll be okay.

no you shouldn't because it is a soft cheese and soft cheeses are on of the 12 most high protein foods and high protein foods gather the most bacteria do not eat the cheese it could cause food poisoning.

Cheese is generally aged in a room that's not nearly as cool as a refrigerator; you should be fine.

smell it, but it should be good, i forget meals outside overnight, and i put it back in the fridge and reheat it by evening and it still tastes good! as long as it does not smell .

I wouldn't...it needs to be refridgerated for a reason.
