I've suffered through salmonella twice, and believe me, you don't want to deal with it. Both times it was severe enough to make me go see a doctor even without health insurance. I don't know where I got it the first time, but the second time was when my refrigerator condenser quit working and I didn't know it because the motor continued to run. Anyway, salmonella is a nasty bacteria that will flatten you for several miserable days.
Sure, I ate raw cookie dough as much as anyone as a kid, but that was when our eggs came from small producers. The risk is greater these days, but thorough cooking kills salmonella. If you must eat soft cooked eggs, you should use pasteurized eggs. Meat must be cooked to the recommended internal temperature. And produce should be thoroughly rinsed. Rinsing won't kill salmonella bacteria, but it will reduce the number of pathogens. This TED-Ed lesson on what salmonella does to your body should keep you from taking chances with your food.
