raw eggs and salmonella Thanks Denise

[Guest guest]

Believe me, I caught it in Mexico some years back and I thought I was going to die. I lost 25 lbs almost overnight and I'm so careful with raw egss, etc. I never ever want that again. Thanks for posting this link. I even pour boiling water on everything I use to bake with before I wash the items in antibacterial soap.....Donnaorganic_homestead <organic_homestead wrote:

My personal belief is that the salmonella in/on eggs is not overrated. It is a real possibility and you're lucky that you haven'tgotten sick. However, Salmonella is rarely deadly and has moreflu-like symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, achy muscles, whichoccur 6 to 72 hours from ingesting the bacteria.Also, the salmonella bacteria is on more things than just eggs.

I think washing items in a bleach solution is better than the antibacterial soap because what we are doing there is enabling some bacteria to become resistant to the anti bacterial stuff.
