I have a friend that is training for a marathon and he drinks 6 raw eggs before running (Yes, like Rocky) – is this safe?

Best Answer

Bearing in mind the salmonella statistics given above., yes it is safe to eat raw eggs so long as you are not very young, very old, or immunocompromised in some way--e.g. HIV, chemotherapy, leukemia, etc.
