Will raw eggs make you sick?

Most likely not but there is a very small chance to get food poisoning if the egg contained a bacteria named salmonella enteritidis.


Is salmonella a bacterial virus?

No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism


Where does all the bacteria that makes people sick come from?

Bacteria that make people sick come from different sources. A person can ingest food or a beverage that has bacteria and make them sick. One bacteria that is found in some foods is salmonella. Other sources of bacteria are contaminated swimming pools or rivers in which a person can swim in. These are called waterborne diseases. Similarly, many different diseases are caused by bacteria.

Do raw eggs make you sick?

Raw eggs will not necessarily make you sick. Eating them raw (as well as many other forms of raw food) can cause salmonella, a bacterial infection that can cause extreme stomach cramping, diarrhea and vomiting. Though the likely hood of your egg containing the bacteria is not high, it is still not a recommended practice.
