Raw and undercooked eggs may contain Salmonella bacteria that can make you sick.” Germs on the shell can more easily enter the egg though a cracked shell. Unfortunately, the infection is not quite simple as the toxin produced by Salmonella can go systemic.In some strain of resistance salmonella, they can cause damage to multiple organs depending on where do they end up with but that is very rare.Whether or not someone will recover from such infection, will depend on the integrity of the host immune system and a few other protective mechanisms that will resist intestinal colonisation such as low pH stomach juice, the degree of the intestinal motility, the normal flora of the intestine and presence of mucosal antibodies.Contaminated chicken’s eggs have been the primary sources of Salmonella infection in human population, causing about 53% from the overall cases that have been reported to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) between the years of 1985 to 2002 (There are two possible pathways that can be taken which will end up with the formation of contaminated eggs that will be sold to consumers.In the direct pathway, the infection originated from the hen’s reproductive system while in an indirect pathway, the causes can be attributed to the environment of the egg production site which may include, the type of food being fed to the individual hen, how the hen’s foods were being prepared, the hygiene level of the egg production site, the temperature and condition during the egg’s storage, etc.The thing is, even if the eggs being sold were contaminated with Salmonella, most of the time, the bacteria would be killed during the cooking process provided the egg is cooked well with an appropriate temperature.In recent years, the utilization of products which contain a raw form of eggs such as mayonnaise, ice-cream and milkshakes have been increasing and this effectively causing the probability of foods which are contaminated to be consumed by an individual increase.Nevertheless, despite all of the possible exposure towards the virility of Salmonella, the chances for a healthy individual to be infected were low (courtesy of various protective mechanisms).For example, on 13 April 2018, approximately 207 million eggs were distributed in 9 out of 50 states in the United State of America.All of the eggs were sold but the number of people who were diagnosed with Salmonellosis was 22.It’s an extremely low figure even though a lot of things should be considered:Other than the mucosal lining of the human’s intestine, Salmonella can invade the mucosa of a hen’s ovary and intestine making it safe to assume that the actual problem can be originated from the way the chicken was raised (how their food was given, how they were taken care of); however, it’s still difficult to determine in which level do the Salmonella started to affect the production of a healthy chicken egg.Other than that, this particular bacteria can diffuse in when they were in contact with uninfected chicken eggs.

The CDC recommends cooking eggs until the yolk and white are firm with an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F. Raw and undercooked eggs may contain salmonella and make you sick.Salmonella lives in the intestines of animals and can spread by contact with feces or contact with anything contaminated by feces. In severe cases, the infection can spread from the intestines to other parts of the body.Symptoms usually begin six hours to six days after infection and can last up to seven days. It can be found literally everywhere, I’m not sure if it is applied to the north and south pole due to the fact that they were quite an unsuitable habitat for them to live in, but generally, they can be found anywhere on earth.Even if it is not common, there were a few cases of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella species which has arisen possibly due to antibiotic abuse but we’re not going to focus on that part.

The eggs should be cooked adequately (usually until the white and yolk portion has become firm) to minimize the number of pathogens which might be lurking on the inside of our precious foods.If any of you have any symptoms which possibly can be caused by any kind of food poisonings such as fever, vomiting and diarrhoea, it will be wise to consult a physician for a proper mode of treatment as sometimes, the symptoms can be quite severe which might lead to even worse consequences.Oh yeah, do not take any kind of antibiotics unless prescribed by the attending physician.
