Hello!

It is as simple as consuming raw milk where you have the risk of bovine tuberculosis. Similarly you have the risk of getting Salmonella typhi and paratyphi infections. The risk of infection from raw or undercooked eggs is dependent in part upon the sanitary conditions under which the hens are kept and various studies show that the risk is low.

But boiling reduces the risk as it kills all spores and bacilli which might cause infections.

Similarly you have to clean all your fruits and vegetables for salads before consuming raw.

Take care!

I agree w/gymdandee.  There are a lot of risks w/raw eggs.  You can get the same protein from eating a cooked egg without the chance of getting sick.

You have to be very careful in eating raw eggs because of Salmonella. if you can find a farm
that only has free range chickens that would be the only ones to eat. Still you have to be very, very careful!!! I wouldn't do it
