I'm wondering about the "salmonella inside the eggshell" quip. Is that the current theory? That the organism has made it's way into the chicken's reproductive system? Basic science (I was a microbiology major and hold an MD) would make one believe it is related to fecal contamination on the outside of the eggshell (thus explaining why I ALWAYS wash my hands immediately after handling an egg). I might take you up on that PDF file Peggy but mostly I just avoid using raw eggs (or use the less fresh, grocery store pasteurized version on the rare occasion I plan to consume raw eggs).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462619498566860755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862123552092605656.post-77517026130911410352010-06-10T12:24:39.393-05:002010-06-10T12:24:39.393-05:00I think you are correct.

One wonders about the cause of this phenomenon? Could it have to do with modern practices in chicken and egg husbandry? And if so, is the risk less if your eggs are from a small "old fashioned" producer? I clearly need to do a little more research.Peggy Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344645980391717209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862123552092605656.post-44322997609378880582010-06-10T10:30:49.244-05:002010-06-10T10:30:49.244-05:00It is my understanding that it wasn't until fa...It is my understanding that it wasn't until fairly recently that salmonella made its way into the chicken reproductive system (and therefore _inside_ the eggshell), so older sources will not mention it much if at all.<br /><br />The dill mayonnaise sounds fabulous.
