Lesson 16: The Chicken or the Egg

Today I learned that salmonella lives on the outside of an eggshell, not on the inside of the egg. Totally makes sense when you consider where the egg comes from. Anyway, that's why it's important to wash your hands after cracking eggs and to fish all the eggshells out of whatever you may be cooking.

And I have to give a second part to this lesson. If salmonella lives on the outside of the egg, does it also follow that the dangerous parts of a person are on the outside? And once you break through that shell, you can get to the tasty goodness on the inside? Here I go...trying to break through some shells now. Let's hope that nothing else gets broken along the way.
