How long can hot dogs stay unrefrigerated?
I bought a pack of hot dogs a few nights ago and forgot to put them away. They've been sitting in my house at temperatures between 52 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit, unrefrigerated. Are they still safe to eat? I'm feeling quite hungry.

It depends on how hot it is outside, but typically 4-6 hours is the normal amount of time food is safe to eat out of the fridge. After that, you risk harmful bacteria growing & contaminating it.

Dont u have any thing else to eat, like bread, butter, jam? if u r insisting to eat those hot dogs & the smell from it is not stopping u to eat....then go ahead.... we will be waiting for another question from u in this forum about "vomiting/diarrhoes after hot dogs";)
Hot dogs left out of the refrigerator and left in plain view do not last long at our house—rarely until the end of the day..

No, throw them away. Technically, you can leave potentially hazardous food in the danger zone (41F-140F) for up to four hours before you have to toss it, but I personally don't go past 20 minutes, and yours have been there for a few days.
Any food should be refrigerated within 2 hours. You have harmful bacteria growing.
I sometimes leave them out for weeks and still eat them with no problems sometimes they get this film build up and i just wash them off, but if they get mold i throw them away.
