It tasted really good and I only have a less than 30% chance of salmonella if my memory is correct.

I just wanted to tell u about a day in my life so that if I die from salmonella one of you can come over and delete my internet history.
Cookie dough tastes really good and I'm sure I could make it without eggs but I'm lazy and I like to live life on the edge.

Also I went grocery shopping and I saw my baby niece and usually I hate babies but she is a cutie. I still don't understand how to deal with babies really. They're like little tiny people. Weird. less

How is it you eat the raw dough & I'm the one suffering from food poisoning right now?!? Holy crap, just kill me! I'm 18 hrs into it and between "attacks" so I thought I should see what's up here to get my mind off it. I cannot describe how bad it was, I couldn't even move from where I fell on the floor. Dad had to come get me to ER - they sure run to help instead of making you wait when you *ahem* make a smelly mess in their waiting room...sorry, tmi? JUST DON'T RISK THIS!!! I was so sick I didn't even care someone had to disinfect the damn place from my 'paint job'.

SOLUTION: You can buy eggs that have been slowly treated in water baths to raise the temp & kill the bacteria inside the shell while not cooking it. I think bad ice cream got me, otherwise it was veggies I ate! They need to make a toilet that has a second bowl feature so both ends can use it at the same time! Be careful with the dough, I wouldn't wish this on you, sunflower! It is BAD & you know I can toss cookies with the best of them without batting an eye - a wuss I am not & I still thought I was gonna die! Uh oh, window of grace is closing, gotta go...I am so screwed! less

I'm the one who got salmonella from undercooked Cheesecake Factory chicken. I have eaten cookie dough and tasted batter hundreds of times with no ill effect. So I just do what I want now.

I have an "f it" attitude regarding cookie dough. I don't like cookies so I make the dough. When people say "but you'll get salmonella!" I go, "Eh, my luck's crap, so cheers!" and I eat the cookie dough.

It's not 30 percent though. It's lower than that. It also depends on how you crack the eggs. Salmonella is only present on the shell of the egg (because chickens have one nether end for mating, eggs and excrement. You can figure out why there's salmonella). You can reduce your chances by cleaning the egg and using different cracking techniques. less

It takes about 4-8 hours for symptoms to set in, so you usually got poisoned from whatever you ate two meals ago--not your most recent one.

I experienced that loveliness once after eating at a barbecue-it-yourself Korean place. The food was so good, but I must not have cooked my meat thoroughly enough, because I was the only one who got it. Holy mother of dildos, it was awful. At one point I was crawling back down the hall from bathroom to bedroom, and just curled up in a ball, face down, in the hallway to rest a minute. I woke up there, hours later.

However, I've never had a problem with raw eggs. As a kid, my grandma would make me a breakfast shake using a raw egg or two and some Nestle Qwik; now, I make breakfast shakes with raw eggs and coffee, and I love raw cookie dough. less

Actually, the incubation period is 12-72 hours for Salmonella and then the symptoms last 4-7 days. -- not the 4-8 hours you mentioned. Maybe you are thinking of something else? Or maybe the example you gave is from someone who ate from a grossly contaminated source, as in out of the usual? less

You are such a fact-checker, WW! That was off the top of my head from a medical article I'd read in the past, and may have been about a different type of food poisoning. I mainly recall that it's usually what you ate two meals ago, and not the most recent meal, that is the culprit. But then, I read that a long time ago, so things may have changed. less

Mwar, I'm surprised to hear you say that Salmonella is only present on the shell of the egg! It is also possible to have it inside the egg!

When a chicken catches Salmonella, it does not get symptoms like we do & eventually, the disease gets into it's ovaries and enters the eggs long before the shells are formed! It only used to be thought that it was just the outside of the eggs, but over the years they found this other source. That is why the industry regularly tests the laying hens for ovarian bacteria. But, there are only a few infected hens in the US at any one time & even they can lay many eggs where only some of them are infected. Your chances of getting Salmonella are extremely low. Yes, cleaning the egg before use & cracking more carefully can help, but it won't make any difference if the source is inside the shell. That is why I mentioned the eggs that are treated in warm water to kill any bacteria inside the egg, in case anyone wanted to be more careful. less
