what are the actual odds of contracting salmonella from raw eggs?

Q: I’m doing research on salmonella and I’d like to know what the actual odds of contracting salmonella from raw eggs are. I’ve eaten foods made from raw eggs all my life and never had a problem, so I’d like to know how much of this is pure hyperbole.thanks,Dan

A: Dan,According to healingdaily.com”A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) indicates that only 2.3 million, out of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, are contaminated with salmonella.So this really means that only 0.003 % of eggs are infected. Viewed another way, only 1 in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella, which shows how uncommon this problem actually is.Based on those numbers, the average person would come across a contaminated egg only once in 42 years.”Happy eating!

Q: Every article I read says something different from the last, so would some one please tell me What are the chances that you could get Salmonella from eating a raw egg?

Can you get salmonella from putting raw eggs on your skin?

Q: I know that ingesting raw eggs can cause salmonella but I was going to do a face mask with raw egg because it’s supposed to be really good for your skin. But, I don’t really want salmonella. Word on the street is that it’s preeetty nasty.

A: It’s said that one out of every twenty thousand eggs has salmonella. That’s pretty low. And yes, you do need to injest a raw egg in order to get the bacteria into your system, so your face mask will not make you sick unless you eat it afterwards. And if you do eat it there’s a 1/20000 chance that anything will happen. Don’t worry about it.
