I find raw eggs to be disgusting, enjoy your food and your diet will be that much easier to maintain. I don't understand the idea of eating food that does not taste good it seems to be an unhealthy relationship with food. As for salmonella that is just one of the possible problems with raw eggs, bird flu and a variety of other possible illnesses are what you may be risking. Our agricultural standards are all about mass production so the chance of illness from raw eggs is definitely greater that it was many years ago.
