My mother and brother both got salmonella from improperly prepared food; hers was from eggs and his was from an outing to a restaurant. Both were years apart and neither one recovered and both instances lead to their deaths.

But I have licked spoons from cake batter all my life and never suffered any ill effects. And when eggs are on sale I will buy 5-10 dozen at a time and keep them refrigerated and use them until they are gone.
