I ate a ham and cheese sandwich, i noticed that it tasted a little weird and my mouth had like a burning sensation in it. After i finished the sandwhich i looked at the ham and it was bought 1 month ago, so i smelled it and it STUNCK !!!!! I went and made myself throw up twice, do i need to still worry about getting food poisoning?

Yes, you can still get it. Don't make yourself throw up. Food poisoning is your body flushing its self out, and it would do a lot better job than you can. Making your self vomit probably didn't fix that much (you can't be sure you threw up all of the bad food/bacteria in your stomach, for example). So you'll get food poisoning or you won't.
Also, if you do get it, don’t take any medication that would “help” (anti-vomiting/anti-diarrhea medications) because these things might just prolong the process by keeping the substance in your body and making it fight, when the bad food would otherwise be expelled as fast as possible. Instead, drink lots of water and get rest. If it gets bad enough, go to the hospital for antibiotics.
It's ipecac syrup that causes vomiting (not recommended for food poisoning, even by practitioners of alternative medicine).

Ham Food Poisoning

Mayonnaise creates a nice blanket around the ham that is a good environment for bacteria to grow. Many low-acid foods, like chicken, ham, or potatoes, are susceptible to the growth of bacteria .

You can get a tape worm though so be careful. If its been two days since you ate it you'd already be running a fever throwing up and sitting on the toilet if it wa food poisoning

Food poisoning is on its way to your house! why did you not stop eating it when you first noticed the funny taste? If you are going to be like that, you should keep some ipicak syrup on hand!
