They say that salmanila (spelling is off but basicly the sh!ts) can be present in 60% of all poltury. That being said, you wouldn't even need to eat it, just each normal food that has been in contact with it. But if your not doing to bad (you sound young and like you would have a strong immune system) don't sweat it. People each stuff like that all the time and you only hear about the very few percentage of them that end up in hospital.

The answer to all your questions is YES. the chicken that you ate may well be loaded with salmanila bacteria. in small amounts it will make you ill, much like the Flu. In healthy adults between age 21 and 60 with good immune systems small amounts of salmanila is relatively harmless, it would give you an upset stomach and a few quick trips to the bathroom but other than that it will pass in a day or so. for children and the elderly even a small amount of salmanila is dagerous. It will cuase fever, weakness , abdominal pain, gradual swelling of internal organs, vomiting, and a host of other wonderful problems. the onset of the condition is 2 to 3 days in most cases with symptoms getting worse and worse as time passes. If you had a large does you coud feel the effects the next day. In severe cases the swelling of organs causes organ failure and can result in death. also be mindful of fever as it can spike over 105 degrees F and cause convulsions. Other than that I guess all that is left to say is WHAT THE HECK WHERE YOU THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never eat raw food that has been sitting around for more than an hour at room temperature.

if you ate it a while ago you are probably fine. food poisoning kicks in very quickly.
that said, there is no exact amount of raw chicken, or any other meat, that will make you sick. It is the amount of the bacteria, or whatever else that you consume, and how your body metabolizes it.
if you start to feel ill, go to the doctors or hospital, depending on severity, it can become extremely serious

That's big enough to make you sick.
I doubt you'd die, unless you had a compromised immune system (in which case you should have known better anyway). It might have been perfectly safe, but likely it will keep you running to the bathroom for the next few days.
If you're drastically sick and losing a ton of fluids, you should go to the hospital, but if you're posting here, I doubt that's the case.

Well,i think it might be possible you can die if you have n allrgic reaction to it or something,but you would be dead by now if that was the case and that's extremely rare,
It also depends if the chicken you ate was off,or had lots of bacteria on it.If your not ill by now,i don't think you will get ill.

You may have salmonella poisoning. The amount isn't the issue. It's how much/ many viruses/bacteria were contained in the piece you ate. If you start to throw up, feel dizzy, run a fever or start to get diarrhea, go to the doctor or emergency room.

You might get sick, but might not. You will have to wait and see. If your immune system is strong you will be fine. I don't think it will kill you.
