Yes you can get Salmanilla, but the chances aren't that great. People use raw eggs when they make cakes so its not like people think they are at risk when they eat cake.

I use raw eggs when I make omlettes

...seriously though, its fairly safe. I often throw a whole raw egg into a protein shake and have never had any problems.

I recommend you cook eggs, in addition to salmonella, they are loading the chickens with hormones, and other crap in order to exceed production. I'm not sure they did that in the time of the Rocky movies, when you cook eggs, it does cook some of the protein out of it, I'm not sure of the percent, but just eat 12 eggs instead of 8. I mean you can get a dozen for like 89 cents.

There's a big difference in bioavailability of raw egg vs. cooked.
So, besides risk of salmonela, you get less value if you don't cook them.

I read somewhere that 1 in every 3000 eggs has salmonella. So the chances of getting sick are pretty small for the average person. However, the typical joe doesn't knock back a coupld of dozen eggs a day. So for a bodybuilder, all those raw eggs can quickly add up, and the chances of getting sick go up.

But I've used to eat them raw all the time, without any problems. Its just a risk, that you have to decide whether you are willing to take.
