FYI, Salmonella does not come from the chicken eggs being raw, it's comes from the chicken. As long as you wash the shells (soap & water should work, although some use bleach) prior to eating them you should be fine. I wouldn't eat white eggs raw, though. Only cage free organic... and organic quail eggs. I eat them raw all the time in my salads. Many people are paranoid about raw eggs and rare steaks because they hear the horror stories about Salmonella on the news, but in reality the chances of illness are very low, and overcooking your steak or eggs is not going to prevent it. Yes, heat kills the bacteria, but the bacteria itself is NOT inside the shell, just like with steaks, it's not inside the steak. It's on the surface, which is why it's perfectly acceptable to cook the outside of the steak and leave the inside raw/rare.
