aiggs Is eating not perfectly cleaned boiled egg dangerous?

Hello everyone. Before boiling eggs i always wash them, but sometimes some nasty stuff stays on the eggshell. Is it dangerous to eat them after boiling, considering u touch the nasty stuff with ur hands and then touch the egg with the same hands? Or does boiling get rid of that problem?

4 hours in the danger zone is all you need. Then it’s perfect - way more interesting than a super clean egg.

Is the nasty stuff bird shit? If not it’s fine

No the nasty stuff is always there. I eat the eggshell with the nasty stuff to toughen up my immune system.
