Eat it! It's just ham. Think of how many millions of college students have eaten day old pizza left under the couch. Certain things I would not eat but something like that no problem for me

I'd pitch it. The general rule of thumb is it takes 2 hours at room temperature to spoil for any cooked food. I know, this wastes a lot of good ham, but it's not worth a nasty case of food poisoning.

I've eaten foods at room temperature and I was fine regardless to what the safety standards are. But, hey to be on the safe side, don't eat it.

Geez overworried people. ITS OK! It was only overnight, its not like the bocholism fairy came by and sat on it! Eat it, be happy and don't worry.

I wouldn't eat it.
It's bad to begin with and if you leave it out, then it's going to be even more bad.
They say you can't kill all the bacteria in Pig, so leaving it out, will just make it grow more.

Maybe, but that's playing Russian roulette with your G.I. tract. It's best to throw-away leftovers that weren't properly stored.

I wouldn't eat it unless you like food poisoning.

Only if you don`t mind the risk of food poisoning.

No. When in doubt throw it out.
