What happens to raw meat when you put salt on it and leave it in room temperature?
How long it will take for raw meat to spoil will depend upon the conditions in which it is stored and it's use by date. If the meat is left out at room temperature on a warm day, it will likely spoil in several hours but on a cool day, it could take 24 hours to spoil. Stored in a refrigerator, raw meat would take 3 to 4 days to spoil if it is still within its use by date.

What happens if previously frozen meat is refrozen thawed cooked eaten?
If you don't notice any funny smells or discoloration prior to cooking the meat, probably nothing.
Thawing, storing, then freezing meat multiple times is a great way to not only ruin the flavor of the meat, but to keep bad, rancid, or dangerous meat around longer than you need to. In my experience, perfectly OK meat that has been thawed, then stored in a fridge for a day, and then frozen again almost always is rancid upon its second thawing.
Never cook bad meat--its a waste of time, tastes bad and can make you sick!
