Question

I eat cookie dough sometimes, taking the risk of getting salmonella, but before I got for more, what is the chances of me getting it?

And what are sytptoms of it?

raw cookie dough

Answer 1

If you're asking about eating it raw, from the package with out cooking it, then there is a SLIGHT chance you may get salmonella (from the raw eggs). So always cook the cookie dough and you'll be ok.

Answer 2

I have eaten cookie dough ever since I can remember, and I am 40. I have never gotten sick. I recently saw in a parenting magazine, on a "How Safe is our Food" article that up to 40% of raw eggs have active salmonella.

Answer 3

Well, pretty low, actually. However, the chance is always there. If the dough is old, don't eat it. The same is true if it has been setting out for a while and then refrozen. The symptoms of salmonella mimic the stomach flu, but then you begin to run a fever and have severe diarrhea and vomiting.

Answer 4

salmonella causes bad diarrhea and cramping.
I have eaten raw cookie dough alot in my life and have never gotten it.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Very low risk.
You probably get more harmless bacteria from objects you touch every day like your cell phone or computer key. (NOT pathogens like Salmonella )

Answer 7

If fresh not much
