how does raw egg give you salmonella, but you can eat a whole raw egg and be fine
In: 4
Short answer is you aren’t fine.
If I remember my training there is something like a 1 in 10,000 chance that your egg has salmonella if you buy it from the store. Less if you buy pasteurized eggs, more if you get them from a farm. And that salmonella is on the outside of the shell. But cracking it will infect the inside.
I’m guessing when you say “whole” you are talking about those manly man movies where they crack a raw egg into their beer for breakfast. They have that chance of salmonella. But it’s not a big chance. People who say don’t eat raw or undercooked eggs are just trying to take the chances from 1 in many, to 0.
