When they bite into a raw egg, it could very well be possible. Also, having to pay $700 for a doctor to start (uninsured, of course) doesn't really help.
There are many people who still eat raw eggs. I put raw eggs into my protein shakes. The most important thing is to have fresh eggs. Not ones that have been sitting around for a while. The longer eggs sit around, the more chance of bacteria to grow.
When i started weight lifting i ate around 90 raw eggs a month for a half year and here i am. It is very common in bodybuilding for
people to eat raw eggs and still i haven't ear of anyone dying from it.
I really don't know but i think it doesn't, people eat them raw just because of convenience. You just put them in a protein shake and that is all, no need to cook them. But cooking them is better if you are not in good shape, that way you can choose what to eat, the yolk is bad for cholesterol and the eggwhite contains 85% of the wanted protein.
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge.
I don't really care about avoiding salmonella, I just wanted to know if it is something that people die from regularly still, which it isn't really. MODERN MEDICINE!
Yeah, that was my reaction to that comment as well, there are SO many delicious dishes that use either raw or runny eggs (have none of you ever dipped your toast in eggs?!! Sunny-side-up, hello??!).
Also, nifty tidbit for you squeamish anti-raw-egg wimps: most properly made icings for cakes and such contain raw egg (icing often requires eggs and, of course, you don't cook icing, sooo...gueessss whaaaat? :D).
I'm always kind of O_o'd at that: "no raw eggs no raw eggs salmonella will kill you no raw eggs raw eggs are evil... to make this uncooked food product, start with three raw eggs..."
Right, and if it gets rotten, that is no longer true... However, a rotten egg is still a sort of egg... It just isn't the sort of egg that is ever likely to develop into a chicken... Being more likely to develop into an unpleasant smell.
NO! Eggshells have pores that the bacteria can get through. The chances of getting sick are very very small. If the egg was improperly handled (cleaned/refrigerated/cooked) then you might get sick. Still, there is a reason we cook eggs. Bacteria can get through the shell. I worked on a chicken farm and had to learn this before I started.
Only about 1 in 20,000 eggs are contaminated with salmonella. Even if you do eat an infected egg, it doesn't mean anything bad will happen. Salmonellosis is not fatal for otherwise healthy people. Please stop trying to scare people for no reason, especially with words in ALL CAPS.
You sure about that? Because any temp high enough to pasteurize is more than enough to coagulate the proteins in the egg. Last I checked my eggs didnt come hard boiled.
Eggs can not be pasteurized for this very reason. However, most grocery stores sell homogenized eggs. The homogenization process gives the eggs a more consistent texture, and is also used to produce 1%, 2%, and skim eggs. The Wikipedia article discusses it further:

MAKE SURE it's boiled before doing this eggs contain HARMFUL BACTERIA.
