Many people like to boil their eggs inside the food they intend to eat, allowing them to cook all at the same time. If you’re one of them, you’re probably going to get infected with one of the organisms that live in the fowl’s intestines, especially if the stains from the poop are evident on the eggshell. When these organisms are consumed together with your food, they can cause serious health problems which include:
