I don’t get why we’re taught cookie dough is so dangerous because of salmonella when some athletes can chug raw eggs everyday and be fine

Pasteurized eggs can sometimes be missing a layer of membrane meant to protect the inside of the egg from bacteria. This is why they must be refrigerated as keeping foods cold slows the growth rate of most bacteria long enough for you to eat it and not get sick.

If you have an opportunity get to a farmers market and purchase some unpasteurized eggs. They stay fresh longer, they don’t require refrigeration, and they taste sooo much better.
