Been doing this for some time now and according to all my neighbors they've been doing this for most of their lives. Don't know about them but I'm certain the eggs have never made me ill.

You might be used to the local fauna as well. If you have local eggs, but did this with US eggs I bet you'd get an upset stomach.
I don't know how long to define a "while". It's subjective, both on my side and the eggs' side.

See in europe I believe they don't refrigerate dairy at all after the irradiation. They might to cool it off if they like it cold, but many places keep it on the shelf. It's supposed to last for weeks or maybe even months like this.
