Is it true that you can only get salmonella from the shell of an egg, and you could therefore eat the egg raw?!
Answers: I am curious because I am considering pulling a Rocky and drinking eggs before a workout, because I've heard that you can only get salmonella from the shell of an egg, rather than the insides (although I doubt this is 100% true).
no you can get salmonila from the egg but you can also have the egg raw people do it every day.. 2 examples are holendays sauce, and egg nog both have raw egg as an ingredient
No.
No. The salmonella enters the egg through the shell so if the shell is contaminated, odds are good that the egg is as well.

It's 100% false.
It is on the shell, but the odds are of getting it are much less greater than we think? Anything is a risk...! I make vinegrettes all the time from egg yolks, I am fine!
just get pasteurized eggs so they are checked
I get tired of saying anthing

eggs in todays market are USDA graded..food freaks fear..!
no, if you really want to eat an egg raw though, i would stick to getting eggs off of a small farm or from europe or something haha good luck
Raw eggs, and the inner part of the shell in a perfect world would be OK. Many people do eat raw eggs on a regular basis.
However, if there is a crack in the egg, even a microscopic one, there is a distinct possibility of getting sick from salmonella amongst other things. Bacteria and viruses can enter the crack, and flourish in the raw egg.
