The danger of Salmonella is that it won't necessarily cause an off odor
or taste.

I learned that one the hard way. But, the egg was damaged. I mistakenly
thought that dad had damaged the egg during washing. Eggs damaged in the
nests were generally destroyed on the spot.

My eyesight was better than his...

If in doubt, throw it out. A $.10 cent egg is not worth the $100.00
co-pay for an ER visit. :-P
