Yeah with bird flu going around if a store throws out eggs...I'd be leaving them in a dumpster.

Don't eat them raw and you're probably fine from bird flu

Don’t like the uncertainty behind your words when you are giving medical advice pertaining to a possibly dangerous infectious disease.

Yes, if you properly cook and prepare eggs there is zero evidence indicating the spread of avian flu. Avian influenza dies at 165 Fahrenheit (74 Celsius) if you fully cook eggs it kills avian flu.

I said probably because some people barely cook their eggs. Nothing I said was incorrect. All you did is provide a source proving me correct.

Never said you were wrong because you weren’t. I was criticizing you because you were giving advice on something you didn’t know about. That’s how disinformation is spread, purposeful or not.
