I always lick the batter and have never been sick from it. The risk is quite low. There are loads of desserts that have raw eggs and people eat them all the time! Aaah chocolate mousse. I love the stuff. Also, in Portugal there are a ton of typical sweets with raw eggs in them, or egg cream. We like to live dangerously!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
