All true, of course...

But...

Unlike other food-borne illnesses, salmonella is a b***h to get rid of,
and acquiring a case of it can have professional consequences (or at
least this was the case until quite recently where I live): health and
food-service professionals are required to take a minimum of a month off
from their jobs to recuperate and be repeatedly tested before returning
to work. 

Let's take the diatribe about how wrong people think that is as read,
shall we? It's just something to consider, and to investigate the legal
ramifications where you live.

I still eat sauces made with raw egg, and abhor eggs cooked until they
resemble erasers. It's a risk I'm prepared to take, but I'll at least
consider my options when asking others to take it.
