What’s up with this weird company that forces people to eat raw eggs?

Recently, the media reported that an intern in Zhengzhou, Henan was fired for refusing to eat raw eggs, and the company's human resources manager also said that eating raw eggs was specified in the company's employee handbook. There are so many strange things in the world, how could there be such a company rule?

Is this company poisoning people? You know, eating raw eggs is not just a matter of taste. After all, many people are disgusted by the smell of raw eggs. The most important thing is the pathogenicity of raw eggs.

Today I want to talk to you about the dangers of eating raw eggs!

01. The pathogenicity of raw eggs

The first is the pathogenicity of raw eggs, typically the Salmonella problem, which cannot be ignored.

Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning. In my country, 70-80% of bacterial food poisoning is caused by Salmonella infection.

In fact, almost every summer, salmonella outbreaks occur around the world, causing nearly 10 million people worldwide to be infected with salmonella...

02. What are the dangers of Salmonella?

So what are the dangers of Salmonella?

First, there are two main types of symptoms caused by Salmonella.

1. Acute gastroenteritis

Generally speaking, the symptoms of Salmonella infection are acute gastroenteritis, which are consistent with the symptoms reported in the news, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc.

2. Typhoid and paratyphoid

Second, how to deal with Salmonella?

This fungus is relatively tenacious because it has two major characteristics.

1. Facultative anaerobic survival is easy

Salmonella is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, so it has a strong survival ability and can survive both in vitro and in vivo, so it often appears.

2. Zoonotic

This is annoying. Zoonotic diseases are always very annoying, which means that isolation is difficult and the source of contamination is difficult to control.

03. Where does Salmonella come from?

There are many sources of Salmonella, and livestock is an important source of Salmonella infection. For example, the following figure shows the monitoring of Salmonella infection in livestock products in Futian District, Shenzhen in different years. It can be seen that Salmonella has always existed, with a low of 20.18% and a high of 53.33%. More than half of the livestock are infected with Salmonella.

Among poultry and livestock, eggs are also often infected with Salmonella, and of course, the same is true for milk and meat.

In addition, if feces, urine, etc. are not handled properly, it will also lead to pollution of water sources, soil, and feed, and the possibility of these pollutions expanding is very high, and then a large number of people will be involved.

In general, it is highly recommended not to eat raw eggs, because it can easily lead to Salmonella infection. Others don't even have time to prevent it, but this company is forcing everyone to eat raw eggs. I personally think this kind of compliance test is very bad.
