No, it's a myth. It's also a myth that the eggs you buy at the supermarket can make you sick if you eat them raw. There has NEVER been a case of salmmonela in the home from raw eggs. ALL cases that have ever been reported have been from restaurants. So don't eat raw cookie dough from restaurants :0)

they claim that eating raw cookie dough is bad for you because of the eggs. I have eaten cookie dough for about 40 years now and I'm not dead or did I get sick.

Like the others said, you risk salmonella poisoning from the raw egg. In addition, cookie dough is filled with sugar and fat, so it's best not to gorge yourself on a tube of it.
*But tons of people eat it all the time, and very few become ill, so go ahead and have a bite!

depends whether there is raw egg in the dough. If eggs ae used then I would say there is a health risk there, but if no eggs are used then by all means enjoy the raw dough.

Yes, 'cause it's made with raw eggs, which can readily grow real nasty germs that can give you a bad case of food poisoning. You'll be so sick you'll wish you could just roll over and die - and you just might! Thomas S., who claims there has never been a case of raw eggs bought at the supermarket making a person sick, has never visited a hospital emergency room. I have worked for years as an emergency room supervisor, and I HAVE seen people sickened that way - and two older people DIE of egg-borne food poisoning. We also had a small child we hat to put on assisted breathing - a respirator - for over a month due to such food poisoning! If you see Thomas S., slap him for me!

It isn't bad for you unless you eat like a whole box of it. Hint: some people say raw cookie dough makes you fat, well i've probobly eaten more cookie dough than 3 people combined, and I only weigh 114.5 lb and i'm eleven years old. (All muscle baby All Muscle)

The raw egg, usually found in raw cookie dough can make you seriously ill. The cause is salmonella.
