I agree, chuck it, it isn't worth the potential problems. A way to avoid it is to use mostly dryingredients, since that is what you are tryiing to do anyway. I haven't found dry soy sauce or worcestershire (both of which I feel I need), but pretty much everything else is dry. My trick: marinate it for a bit with soy and worcestershire.
Mix it up with all the dry stuff (including dry "liquid smoke"), include some 'cure'
Let it sit overnight, and put in the dehydrator.
