of course I won't eat cold deli meat or raw eggs or any of those things because the threat is high
Just a question, but I thought the reason that raw egg and deli meat was off the table was due to salmonella (food poisoning) threat? I have been avoiding these foods because I've read I need to, but I did forget and have runny poached eggs the other day and felt quite guilty.

Got me to thinking though... I've been eating runny eggs, had slices and things made from raw egg and even put raw egg in smoothies sometimes to boost protein, very regularly since I was a child. I can't think of any time that I've been sick from eating these foods. I know that my immune system is somewhat compromised now, but I've always been very sensitive to food poisoning but never been sick from cold meat or raw egg.

BBQ chicken from the supermarket is another matter however...

Not about to take up runny eggs every day for breakfast, but just my thoughts
