I have a personal, non proven, theory about Salmonella. I think it used to be a in a lot of food, but we didn't care most of the time as we were used to it. With things getting cleaner, we got sensitive to it, and it's now a problem because our immune system can't fight it as well and people get very sick out of it.

I remember we used to get eggs from an old lady in my mothers village when I was a kid. Dirty eggs, full of chicken crap, very cheap (5 francs a dozen).

They had a rich and flavorful taste, texture was full and round, and you felt like eating a ray of sunshine at breakfast.

One day friends from the city that ate only supermarket stuff came by, and ate the eggs. They loved it.

And they also got very sick.

The eggs could have been marinaded in salmonella but if you cooked them (which you did?) they'd be sterile and safe afterwards. So maybe a coincidence or something.

Yet the USA bleach their eggs so I assume there is a risk a contamination somewhere.

But yes, it is all anecdotal.

Don't knock it, it's still useful evidence even if just one data point. I don't like the HN habit of pinning anecdotal on things just so as to dismiss them.
