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

That somehow it hasn’t been boiled, and when I start to peel it, it’s going to be a raw egg. Even if I’ve just cooked it.

But is a raw egg the worst thing? 👀 That’s our worst case scenario, right?

@Reject don’t challenge my mind, I could come up with worse scenarios than covering myself in raw egg

@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.
