  • GET OVER THE RAW EGG. The risk of getting an egg contaminated with salmonella is 1 in 30,000 in the US. An egg is only at risk if there is prolonged exposure to the hen's fecal matter. The eggshell acts as an airtight seal, and eggs are washed within minutes of being laid. Furthermore, alcohol, salt, and sugar are antibacterial. If you ARE the unlucky bastard that gets salmonella, big deal. It's the 21st century. Out of the 142,000 Americans that are infected each year (not all by egg), 30 die.

  • u know i drank alot of egg nog on christmas and then i pooed lol

  • @john84753 The eggshell is a remarkable structure. It regulates gas exchange, provides nutrients, and also acts as a sort of microbe shield. You are right that it is not completely airtight because it is porous, but there are numerous barriers that prevent bacteria from entering (how do you suppose chickens have survived so long?) For further reading, I would suggest reading the studies done by the International Journal of Food Microbiology.

  • i never did have eggnog, but its looks amazing! :D

  • I HAVE THAT BOWL XD

  • @hardgaymania you are probaly correct

  • @canadiancatgreen you need 60 C to kill bacteria, lower than that and the egg is woundreball to bacteria

  • Where'd you get those mugs? I love 'em!

  • @IrishRhavin the booze is not needed really

  • you can gently heat the egg mixture over low heat stirring it to get rid of any bacteria and this also helps so you dont ned the alcohol too

  • @mistyaqua the egg is not "airtight" the shell is porous and exchanges air and moisture with the outside. Bacteria can enter through the pores as well. Get over it yourself.
