I bought a dozen last week- I had a hankering for eggs, BAD.
I have been sick for the last 4 days. I looked at the carton dates and sure enough. I got a bad batch.
---------
If you eat eggs check youre before you eat-why did sound kinda tacky?
No, seriously...
It's a bad deal, no fun and kinda painful....
Go
To
The
Doctor,
Mr. Stubborn
He might even give you something to make you feel better.....:p
ETA:
I would be s.o.l. if I got any bad ones, because I would never know it. I empty the eggs out of the store carton into an egg tray in my fridge, so brand, dates and codes are lost in the trash!
Hope you are feeling better. My oven/stove broke two weeks ago so I have not been able to make eggs and I do miss them.
my boyfriend was fussing at me for forgetting to buy eggs this weekend. Now I can tell him it was for his own good.:D
Oh my. That is scary for someone like me who is on Atkins and eating a LOT of eggs. Yikes! It doesn't seem like it has spread to Pennsylvania (yet).
I buy those Eggland Best eggs. Checked their website and they are not involved in the recall.
Hope you feel better soon! Don't give them to Ed.
:) Thats what I told him too was Go To The Doctor.. I am so glad I buy Egg Beaters..
Richard I do hope you get to feeling better real soon.. Orc said he would drive you to the Doctor Office..:D

I know when to say when and thanks for looking out for me.
I can be adopted, I clean up after myself and cook and do laundry.
PM me for an interview?:rolleyes::D
Adoption? I would consider that if I could claim you as a dependent on my taxes. :DQuote:

I have been so paranoid because of what you went through that I have not cooked any of the eggs I bought a week ago ... even though I am sure the Salmonella recall hasn't made it this far and we have plenty of egg farms here in New England. I may just buy new ones and throw those out. I soooooooooo hate throwing up, and that's a reaction I have to some of my food allergies, so I guess I am just gun-shy in that regard!
:) I was reading yesterday about this Egg Recall & they are saying now that the Hens had the Bacteria Salmonella in their Overies.. This is why even the cooked eggss will still have the Salmonella.. The Farms are suppose to check the Hens for the Overies of having or not the Salmonella Bacteria.. Your right Karen so far your state is not one on the list of infected eggss.. So far California is the one with the most noted Illnessess.. They have had like 288 cases.. Only two other states WI & another state has had like 26 cases.. So far TX has not reported any casess yet; but is on the list of the Eggss being here.. I know Farm Fresh is a bigg name in the Walmart stores & that is one of the egg carton names noted.. ** I will stick with my Egg Beaters thank you **

eggs every morning.
The way these chickens are treated,I'm surprised we all aren't gettting sick.:(
:( Oh no I am so sorry you have had the illness too.. I sure hope you get to feeling better real soon..
I think your State was on the list.. I will recheck.. Oh your right & that I have watched shows about chicken & egg farms & its like unreal the conditions.. Some of it makes you sick before you have even eaten anything..

The worst feeling is in your lower gut, you feel like it wants to turn itself inside out.....
I'm down to one roll of toilet paper!:eek:
Vinegar, water and newspaper.;):love:Quote:

The worst part is when you start to feel like you're getting over it & BAM....
that old nagging gut feeling comes back again.:( Food........blah.:(:(
"I would be s.o.l. if I got any bad ones, because I would never know it. I empty the eggs out of the store carton into an egg tray in my fridge, so brand, dates and codes are lost in the trash!"
Really bad idea for a couple of reasons. Other than no info/dates etc, the fridge door that normally houses those egg trays are actually the hottest part of you fridge. Not good for eggs. Better for less perishable items like condiments etc.
I buy my eggs at the farmers market on Sat. They are more expensive but worth it. I feel like I "know" the chickens. The farmer tells me the craziest colored eggs are from the craziest chickens! LOL! She can tell you what egg came from what chicken. She names them all and takes good care of them.

What I use for the eggs is like a Tupperware container that is for egg storage and sits on any shelf in the fridge. No - I don't like the door storage method either. But I still loose the date and code info by doing this. :(Quote:

Now that you feel better Richard, you can get back to the old "swallow the raw eggs" routine, prior to your daily workouts :D:D
So, I can still punch the sides of beef? That won't get me sick?:DQuote:

"But I still loose the date and code info by doing this."
I will admit to being a bit of a freak about perishables and possible recalls. I'd use a wax pen to put the date on the Tupperware carton. Super easy to wipe off and put the new info.
After all the pet food recalls, I cut out the info off the 30lb bag and throw it in the bin when I dump the food in there. A bag that big is an investment and I want my $50 bucks back if it's bad. AND vet costs if heaven forbid it get to that. :eek:
