There's about a 1 in 40,000 chance that a raw egg will have salmonella. If you are elderly or have a weak immune system then it is not worth the risk, otherwise you should be fine. However, there is no benefit to swallowing a raw egg instead of a cooked egg, so unless you really love the raw egg texture you may as well cook it (it only takes a couple minutes to fry an egg).

Raw eggs can contain salmonella. I would cook it first :-)

It's better than trying to swallow it whole, but still risky. You should cook it too.
