Are you likely to get food poisoning from food covered with plastic and left out at room temp for 6 hours?

Is it hot food? Cold food? I think a lot depends on what the food is and what temperature differences you're dealing with.

That's definitely playing with fire. The current thinking is to cover and refrigerate right away.
