Yes, it is possible to contract salmonella from eating raw bacon, although it's more commonly associated with undercooked poultry and eggs. Raw bacon can harbor harmful bacteria, including salmonella, especially if it comes from pigs that were infected. To minimize the risk, it's essential to cook bacon thoroughly before consumption. Always practice safe food handling and hygiene to reduce the chances of foodborne illness.
