I HAD A BRAINSTORM! GAWD, I AM SMART!

I Googled "salmonella in raw eggs." I found out two things, which seem to
contradict each other. One is that the occurrence of salmonella is so low
that the average person is exposed to one salmonella contaminated egg every
84 years.

Second, temperatures in a car in the sun are highly conducive to the growth
of salmonella IF IT IS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Google is your friend. Become an expert on salmonella in raw eggs in an
hour or less. Impress your friends.

I learned that salmonella is not very common among healthy chickens, and the
incidents of salmonella contaminated eggs are not very common.

But for a dollar, why take the chance.

Salmonella poisoning can kill you.
