Advertisement Egg shells tend to have chicken droppings stuck on them, which are the most likely to carry salmonella.

Salmonella can easily cause bacterial food poisoning, which is very common.

If you cook eggs incorrectly, you can get salmonella in your stomach.

Salmonellosis is a disease of humans and animals. Meat and poultry eggs are the main sources of human infection.

Once infected with Salmonella, most normal adults will have diarrhea symptoms, while children, frail women or the elderly with relatively weak constitutions will have a relatively serious condition, often experiencing complications of fever and diarrhea, and may even be fatal.

But you don’t need to panic too much. Although eggs may carry salmonella, it is easy to eliminate salmonella. Just pay attention to the following points when boiling eggs.

1. Rinse the shell thoroughly with clean water before boiling eggs. Egg shells may be stained with chicken manure and contaminated with salmonella.

Therefore, it is best to rinse the shell thoroughly with clean water before cooking.

2. It is best to cook eggs in cold water instead of hot water. Eggshells are easy to break, and bacteria may sneak in and contaminate the eggs, becoming the culprit of spreading salmonellosis.

Therefore, it is best to boil eggs in a pot under cold water.

3. Eggs must be cooked thoroughly. In life, many people like to eat soft-boiled eggs, which are undercooked eggs.

However, undercooked soft-boiled eggs are at risk of being contaminated by salmonella in chicken feces. Once the egg yolk is not cooked, the bacteria will be directly transferred to humans.

Therefore, eggs must be cooked thoroughly before eating.
