    It depends on how hot it is where your room is. But room temperature- yes, just boil them or grill them properly. They contain a lot of nitrates - salt- so are preserve in themselves.

    Food Safety Guidelines

    The same general food safety guidelines apply to hot dogs as to all perishable products — "Keep hot food hot and cold food cold."

    When you leave the grocery store with hot dogs, head straight home and refrigerate or freeze them immediately. If there is no product date, hot dogs can be safely stored in the unopened package for 2 weeks in the refrigerator; once opened, only 1 week. For maximum quality, freeze hot dogs no longer than 1 or 2 months. And, of course, never leave hot dogs at room temperature for more than 2 hours and no more than 1 hour when the temperature goes above 90 °F.

    You could get salmonella poisoning from any meat that is left out for too long (or from raw eggs). Toss them

    They will be fine as long as bugs haven't got at them.

    Those are the facts.
