I had bought some red beets and left them out on the kicthen table for about a month. They look & smell OK. Do you think they went bad and could cause me to get sick if I eat them?

If these were fresh, uncooked beets, as a root vegetable, they should be fine unless they've gotten soft and wilted to the touch.

I agree to be very careful with old food left out.
Michelle, I love Pickled Beets too, and drink the juice in part, and used the rest in other compatible dishes, like stews. I often add vinegar to the commercial pickle for extra "zing"

no... no food should be left out no more than 2-3 hours. Alot of ppl do not realize the danger of leaving food out at parties over 2 hours. It can be health hazard.
When when u cook a meal..think about it. has it set there over 2 hours?
My mom liked cookin meals then let it set there on the stove. any one wants it. can have it. Even if it has been sitting there over 4 hours. nasty to me.

Yes it's completely normal, drink a few glasses of water if you want to flush it out of your system.

Toss them (not in a salad!).
