salmonella? I have heard of this, but only from eating the raw eggs.

But there are lots of ways to eat raw egg: that thing that you get when you beat the egg whites and have a meringue-like thing... also mayonnaise.

I never said I believed it.. I eat raw cookie dough from scratch all the time.

Isn't salmonella something that's gotten from eating a certain part of a badly-cooked pig? It's a big-ass coccoon that really easy to spot before cooking, and if you cook it you kill it. Maybe I got it confused with something else.

We always refridgerate our eggs. However, we do leave the butter out, which I think is pretty uncommon. Its never gotten bad, nor has anyone gotten sick. I hate cold, hard, butter.

E. Coli is from beef, salmonella from poultry, and trichinosis from pork.

Ditto on that. Or I WOULD leave butter out provided my roommate would let me. And provided we had real butter.
