Answer 1

Couple things.
In some areas it’s okay to leave eggs at room temperature. It’s just a difference in how they’re processed.

The other is about the [Danger Zone](https://youtu.be/siwpn14IE7E) where from 40F-140F/4C-60C is the temperature that allows food to spoil.
Above or bellow that, bacteria will not grow.
Boiling water at 212F/100C is above that.
