Well, chances are good that you won’t get ill.

They estimate that roughly 1 in 4 chickens contain Salmonella.
but only 1 in 1000 eggs are infected.
So your chances of getting sick are equal to hitting the pick 4 lotto.
(Have you ever)?
I never hit the darn thing.
Slim chance so, quite safe.
Still and all read this article.

Then read question no.2 on this site.

It’s always been safe, I have eaten them for 40 years and have never been physically sick.

Generally yes, especially if you are healthy (no immune system problems) and aren’t a child or senior. The odds of contracting salmonella from a raw egg these days is over 100,000 to 1. However you could by pasteurized eggs to reduce that to 0 though they cost a bit more.

People and scientist change their mind on this every year. Same thing with coffee. One year it’s good for you the next it’s not.

I do extreme cardio and I eat raw eggs all the time. I don’t know if I am just used to them now for eating raw eggs for so long but I have never gotten sick from them.

You can get some sort of poisoning from eating raw eggs but it’s pretty rare. You have a bigger chance to get sick from tap water.

It would depend on where they come from.
Most are safe now but there could be some dodgy suppliers.
Identify the brand you are buying, and if the store can’t tell you contact the supplier.
