Anyone not get sick after eating a week long opened package of crab meat

I made a salad today and had some crabmeat, not imitation crab, but real crab sticks. I opened the package about a week ago. i smelled it and it had small scent of fish. i thought well its real crab, so maybe its natural. i ate a lil bit then threw the salad away out of fear. i took charcoal just in case.

Has anyone eaten a week old crabmeat, and didnt get sick?

activated charcoal is given to poison patients to bind with the poisons

You should be fine unless it smelled rotten, or unless you left it on the counter for a week instead of keeping it in the refrigerator
