I have this fear every time I have an unpeeled boiled egg that I’m about to eat

@itsok Now you have me wondering. 😆 If something ever concerns me, I unusually think of the worst case scenario and make myself okay with it. A raw egg doesn’t sound so bad, so I’d dive right in and be prepared for the worst.

@Reject there could be parasitic worms or a developed embryo in the egg.
And now that I’ve thought about it, I wonder if that’s what I’ll start thinking about next time I peel an egg

@itsok Some people eat raw eggs you know! So parasitic worms are a bit unlikely, but even if it were to occur. All that takes is a trip to the doctor. It’s not the end of the world. Some people also eat the developed embryo of a bird… 😖 Horrific I know, but comforting for me to know that people engage in these things and are usually just fine. You’ll become stronger if one of these chance occurrences happen! If in no other way than mental fortitude. Making you even better at caring for those you love. See? Let’s use our mental processes to see good outcomes too. Lol.

@NerdyPotato Owls hatch from eggs, too, mister... 🤨🤨🤨

@HootyTheNightOwl but those aren't the ones humans eat...

@NerdyPotato Only because owls are a protected species...

@NightsWatch I’ve never heard of those. Cibophobia sounds more similar. I have contamination ocd

@KeyserSoze reality has little to do with my worries of the raw egg. I can cook it double what it says, and my brain can convince me it’s still raw

@itsok yeah I’m in a weird mood right now. Kind of like I’m on something but I’m actually not.

So how’s the possum?

@BillyMack in a good way?

she’s still a possum. I’m about to feed her dinner

@itsok I dunno yet.

Maybe she can help with your boiled egg situation.

And I think you’re the first person I’ve ever talked to that had a possum. Pretty cool. 😊
