I used to eat 6 whole eggs blended with 3 bananas every day before I found out blending and whites are bad. I didn't have any problems from them, my hair didnt go strawlike from biotin deficiency, and I never felt ill from them. It did cause acne on my forehead which baffled me because I didn't have acne to begin with!!! I can eat all the nasties with no acne but blended banana and whoosh.....
Anyway, when I realised it was the blended banana causing the acne (and not the blended eggs) I stopped having the smoothies.
And started having raw egg yolks by themselves from a glass. Tried eating the white but it was too gross.
Anyway I don't mind raw yolks this way but my body does - every time I have them, the next day I have mild cold/flue/chest infection symptoms. Not a full blown illness, just mild symptoms. My nose is stuffy, my eyes are watery, my chest feels very stuffy and congested and it hurts a bit. My ears feel congested. I feel cold and miserable. And I have a minor outbreak of my chicken pox symptoms (which I had years ago and can't get rid of - every time I get stressed, I break out in mild symptoms including the spots but it doesn't develop into full illness)
Anyway I thought maybe it was coincidence and nothing to do with the yolks, and I tried to ignore it.
Then this week, I didn't have the egg yolks for a few days, and my symptoms cleared up. Then I ate the yolks again and the next day, all the symptoms again, and my ears were very painful, like with an ear infection. So it's definately the yolks.
It definately doesn't happen with blended eggs......which is very baffling. And it doesn't make any difference how many eggs at a time.
6 blended eggs - no symptoms
1 plain egg - major symptoms
6 plain eggs - symptoms
1 blended egg - no symptoms
and it happens with both chicken and duck eggs.
