<b>Will overnight watermelon spoil? </b>
In reality, there are a lot of eating overnight watermelon results in vomiting and diarrhea in the hospital news. But the watermelon is so big, if you can't eat it all in one day, what should you do?
1. Don't take it out of the refrigerator repeatedly.
Watermelon is very easy to spoil food, once cut, microorganisms will grow along the incision, deep into the flesh, until the whole melon is spoiled. However, the whole process of deterioration is not so fast, if the watermelon is cut immediately wrapped in plastic wrap, and put into the refrigerator for storage overnight watermelon can be eaten. If you want to extend the freshness of the watermelon, it is not recommended to take it out often, and it is not recommended to eat watermelon with a spoon. The spoon will not only introduce microorganisms into the air but also bring microorganisms into our mouth to the watermelon.
2. Cut watermelon sealed with plastic wrap.
The refrigerator is not sterile and microorganisms are present inside. So the cut watermelon should not be put directly into the refrigerator, sealed with plastic wrap to save. It is worth mentioning that the refrigerator can only delay the deterioration of watermelon, and can not completely stop the process, so even the watermelon in the freezer needs to be eaten as soon as possible.
3. Do not eat watermelon that has been cut and left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If a cut watermelon is left open at room temperature for more than 2 hours, it is best not to eat it. During the time it sits, microorganisms proliferate rapidly, and if you have a sensitive gut you may get diarrhea.
4. Don't eat the parts with mold spots and partial rot.
If you find watermelon with mold spots and rot before you cut it, don't eat this watermelon. Even if you cut off the broken part, the pulp of the other parts may have been contaminated long ago.
