i've always been skeptical about the risks associated with eating raw eggs. chicken flesh is another story, however, because slaughter practices do create a higher risk, so i'm no referring to that.
i was raised on norwegian egg nogs. norskie egg nogs are just raw eggs blended/whipped into chocolate milk. i must have had at least one a week during the winter months all throughout my childhood. so did my elder siblings, a few of which have severe allergies and other health issues including sensitivites to gastro-intestinal anomalies.
no one ever became ill from the egg nogs. my mother did always wash the eggs after purchase, before storing them in the refrigerator, which may be a contributing factor.
i guess, the question would be can salmonella penetrate an eggshell and membrane? what about other creepy crawlies?
