Answer 5

Sure you can, you can also drink hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, ethanol, and eat raw meat.  Just because you CAN doesn't mean you want to.  Raw eggs most commonly associated with salmonellosis, but other contaminants can easily be spread from accumulation on the egg.  

If you want a raw egg like product, use the pasteurized eggs, as they have been irradiated to significantly reduce the microbial population inside the egg.

Yes and no.

In some places eggs need to be cooked for health reasons.

A rew egg mixed with milk in a glass is supposed to settle the stomach after a night out.

One would be enough I would say.

Answer 12

The reason raw eggs are usually not eaten is because of salmonella, a bacteria that is destroyed by heat/cooking.  You can get around this problem by buying pasteurized whole eggs (available at most mega-marts and grocery stores).

So if you'd like to eat raw eggs, go ahead!  They're full of protein and vitamins, some of which get destroyed in the heating process.
