Eating raw eggs is common among bodybuilders. The article linked to addresses the issues (or lack thereof) fairly well.

I've gone for extended periods eating 12-18 raw eggs per day in shakes (eating that many cooked could lead to allergies) and found it gave me an unusually good cholesterol profile with very high levels of HDL.

Though I used to throw out a lot of the yolks and have just a few per day, now I'm more apt to either have the whole egg or actually throw out some of the whites

Also, have you read the book mentioned at the bottom of the article, We Want to Live? If you've tried the full-blown raw animal food diet it'd be fun to compare experiences.
