Unpasteurized shell eggs should generally be rejected due to the risk of foodborne illnesses, particularly Salmonella. These eggs lack the heat treatment that kills harmful bacteria, making them unsafe for consumption, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly, pregnant women, and young children. To ensure food safety, it's advisable to choose pasteurized eggs or thoroughly cook eggs before consumption.
If pasteurized eggs or egg replacements are used, it should be safe to drink. If you choose to use raw, unpasteurized shell eggs, there is the possibility of sharing Salmonella with your Holiday cheer. See Related Links for an eggnog recipe where the eggs are cooked.

Mot people, including myself, believe that eggs can be left out for much longer than that, especially unpasteurized fresh eggs. I would use an egg that has been left out for no more than 3 days if it is unpasteurized and 3 hours if it is.
Unless eggs are boiled to kill bacteria on them, they should be washed before cracking them open.
