This may be a lesson in cake making or a lesson in not eating batter because of possible Salmonella poisoning. I can't decide.
Ya'know, I ate a TON of batter growing up and never was so severely sick to be diagnosed with Salmonellosis. But I don't know-if I did ever contract Salmonellosis (which symptoms were a tummy ache and new found aversion to cookie batter), my mom seemed to easily cure it with giving me a cup of soda while I sat on the couch and the most effective treatment - an episode of Scooby Doo. Or She-Ra.
I think my Mom should email the Mayo clinic.
