People always freak out about eating raw cookie dough for fear of salmonella due to the raw eggs.
Yet raw egg whites have been a common ingredient in fancy cocktails for ages and its never been questioned or regarded as dangerous.
What gives?
In: Biology
The realistic is that eating raw eggs is actually quite safe. There’s an extremely small chance the egg could have some issue (generally salmonella), but its incredibly small as there is tons of processes in place from the farm all the way until it arrives in your fridge at home designed to keep eggs safe to eat, even raw.
The prohibition and fear of raw eggs is an insane, and almost completely unfounded overreaction.
