The highest risk for contamination of an egg is Salmonella. The shell does protect against these organisms entering, but if it is cracked or highly contaminated it will not stop contamination. Washing the egg too much could also compromise the barrier causing contamination.

If the egg is cooked properly, Salmonella contamination should not be a problem as the bacteria will be killed with sufficient heat.

Which came 1st the chicken egg or the chicken?

From an evolutionist's point of view, the egg came first. A chicken, by definition, must be born from an egg. The egg does not have to be a chicken's egg however. The egg could be layed by an avian that is very similar to a chicken, but which is not a chicken. A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
