Spela,
Salmonella poisoning is NO joke. I did get it once off of raw
eggs. I made chocolate chip cookies and ate some of the
raw unbaked dough.
It was traced back to the eggshells of the carton of eggs I
used. That was four years ago. I never eat ANY raw eggs
or anything containing raw eggs anymore. No licking bowls
from cakes or cookies anymore.
Chickens can harbor the samonella inside them, and the
eggs that they lay have the bacteria on the shell. If the eggs
are properly and completely cooked, the bacteria are killed
off and the eggs are safe to eat.
Egg cartons are in contact with the raw eggshells and can
harbor the salmonella bacteria. Unless you can autoclave
the cartons at 400F at three atmospheres for ten minutes
with steam; you can't be certain of killing any residual
salmonella bacteria in the carton material.
I was very sick. It is not worth risking.
