How to check whether duck eggs are missing or not. How to determine the freshness of an egg

Have you ever been in a situation where you were preparing a dish and already during the cooking process you noticed that the eggs had expired? Or are the eggs stored in a container without a date mark, so you're not sure if they're safe to use or should be thrown away? Fortunately, it is not difficult to determine that an egg is spoiled. From this article you will learn not only how to identify a spoiled egg, but also how to find out the degree of its freshness.

Steps

Freshness test

    Place the egg you want to determine the freshness of in a bowl or wide glass with cold water and see if it floats. There is a small air chamber inside the egg, which expands over time as more air enters the egg through the pores of the shell. The more air that enters the egg, the larger the air chamber becomes, and the egg becomes buoyant.

    Bring the egg to your ear, shake it and listen to see if you hear a squelching sound. Over time, liquid evaporates from the egg shell and carbon dioxide, the yolk and white begin to dry out and shrink, the air chambers in the egg increase. Large air cavities create free space for the egg inside the shell, which is what causes the squelching sound.

    Break the egg over a plate or bowl and check the condition of the white and yolk. The purity and integrity of an egg decreases over time, so an old egg will not be as intact as a fresh one. Pay attention to whether the egg spreads across the plate or remains compact. A runny or seemingly watery egg with obviously runny whites is already far from pristine freshness.

    Checking the expiration date

    1. Check the expiration date indicated on the packaging. The packaging may indicate the expiration date of the eggs, for example, “Sell by”, usually 30 days from the date of packaging. Eggs with intact shells that are stored in the refrigerator can be eaten within a month after the expiration date. In Russia, such markings are not found.

      Check the "Expiration Date" on the packaging. On the packaging you can find words such as “Best before”, “Use before”. Usually this is 45 days from the date of packaging. Try to consume eggs no later than 2 weeks after this expiration date.

      In the US, eggs are labeled with a 3-digit code that indicates the date the eggs were packaged. Labeling a sell-by date is not required by federal law (some states require it, others do not), but all eggs must be marked with the packaging date. The date is indicated by three digits according to the Julian calendar. For example, an egg packaged on January 1st is labeled as 001, an egg packaged on October 15th is labeled as 288, and an egg packaged on December 3rd is labeled as 365.

      Throw away eggs that were first stored in the refrigerator and then left room temperature more than 2 hours. If the egg has been stored in the refrigerator and has been cooled to a certain temperature, it is very important to maintain this temperature further. A refrigerated egg in a warmer environment may become foggy, causing bacteria to grow on the outside. Due to the fact that the egg shell has a porous structure, bacteria from the outside can penetrate into the egg and multiply there.

However, so far these have been scattered mentions. Let's summarize the material in the form of an article "" and for this we offer you a fairly universal method for diagnosing and removing spoilage (using eggs).

Find out the damage by the eggs! Until she recognized you :) Why do we stop at the egg? Because the egg is a very ancient and very universal method of working with negative things. Thus, the egg as such is directly connected with the beginning of the Universe in many mythologies of the world. For example, our modern world, as the Slavs believed, arose precisely from a world egg floating in the world’s oceans.

Naturally, modern eggs are a long way from the ancestral egg. But nevertheless, regular egg- nothing more than symbol first egg. Therefore, it becomes to some extent artifact. That is, eggs have much greater potential compared to other things like wax, hair, and so on. In terms of artifactual and symbolic potential, the only thing comparable to an egg is water (a symbol of the ocean in which that same egg floated). And, oddly enough, it is water that will help us identify spoilage in eggs.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, let's remember the basic definitions.

Words " damage" comes from the word " spoil". And you won’t believe the word “spoil” - directly related to the egg. This is probably also why you can recognize spoilage by eggs, and also remove it most effectively with the help of an egg. How does the word "spoil" relate to eggs? The sequence reconstructed from the etymological dictionaries of Vasmer and Chernykh is as follows:

One form of the word " spoil" - word " tattered» — rotten egg. This form is present in Czech as zaprtek(spoiled egg), and in Slovak in the form zaprtok(scrambled egg). An older form of this word preserved in Lithuanian is: pereti, perei meant " hatch eggs". And, in turn, this form has an even more archaic version, preserved in Latin: perio, which means " I give birth, I bear". Ultimately the word " spoil" (like the word " damage") through intermediate meanings associated with eggs, goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root * per-, meaning to bear, to give birth.

So, spoilage is really directly related to eggs. Which may well justify the effectiveness of eggs in removing spoilage.

So let's get back to our sheep. That is, we will continue to recognize spoilage by eggs. Manifestations of damage are varied, but always destructive:

  • these are long-term illnesses,
  • and long-term painful lack of money,
  • and troubles at work,
  • and love troubles...

In general, damage is when everything is bad. And not by itself, but by someone’s evil will. After all damage- this is always the result of purposeful magical actions. Damage is always caused; it will not fall on a person on its own. That’s why it’s scary: after all, in order to “spoil” a person, evil forces are used, negative energies, therefore, people who have been damaged feel melancholy, sadness, fear, and despondency. Damage decomposes not only the body - that would be half the problem, but also the soul, in which case one cannot expect that everything will “go away on its own.” Fortunately, there are reliable ways to remove damage.

We've dealt with the damage, let's move on to the evil eye. The evil eye is similar to damage, but still it is not the same thing. The fundamental difference is that evil eye- This is an involuntary action. Someone looked unkindly, said something rude, got very angry or envious... And perhaps he didn’t want to cause harm, but he had enough strength for a bad thought to touch him. You can jinx both in person and at a distance, although in the first case the negative effect will be stronger.

Most often, beautiful and successful people are subject to the evil eye, and those who, for some reason, are energetically weakened, which happens when they are sick or severely tired, also easily fall under the evil eye. In terms of its effect, the evil eye is much weaker than damage, but it can also cause a lot of trouble.

As the title suggests, this article will talk about ways and means by which you can determine whether you have damage or not. Modern literature and the Internet describe many in various ways. But despite large number, all of them can be divided into two groups:

  1. External
  2. Domestic

The first category includes (as I believe is clear from the name) all methods in which the presence of damage is determined by external signs and signs, or using any methods-ceremonies (rituals). Well, for example, you found in your house or under your threshold a tuft of hair, scattered earth, a needle, a dead animal, or just a puddle of water (there are a lot of options). Among the ritual methods, perhaps the most common are methods for determining damage using eggs, pins, candles, and wax.

  • constant bad luck, everything falls out of hand;
  • constant depression;
  • all tests and examination results are normal, but you are still sick;
  • an unreasonable feeling of fear and misfortune;
  • rises for no apparent reason high temperature. There are no manifestations of the disease, except for a temperature above 39. After some time, the temperature also suddenly drops and does not rise again;
  • causeless diarrhea or vomiting, which, like fever, quickly goes away on its own
  • fear - a person who has not previously suffered from any phobias begins to be afraid of the dark, heights, closed spaces or something else inexplicable;
  • chills or trembling without illness or fever;
  • a protracted illness that cannot be treated appropriately, or illnesses following one after another;
  • a chain of bad luck, troubles, misfortunes;
  • melancholy and torment, nightmares, forebodings. A person experiences an unquenchable mental yearning and he himself does not know why and suffers, unable to cope with his incomprehensible illness;
  • and so on.

The signs of the evil eye are not as obvious as those of damage, but they can still be detected. For example:

  1. A burning sensation in the eyes, as if a speck had gotten into the eye, even though there was nothing in the eye. The eyes become watery and there is a fear of bright light.
  2. A series of minor troubles and minor ailments is also a sign of the evil eye. If a major loss or serious illness speaks of damage, then little things that seem to cause little harm, but make life sick, are the evil eye.
  3. Loss of strength, feeling of heaviness throughout the body, drowsiness and clumsiness.
  4. Minor family quarrels and disagreements that happen out of nowhere are a sign that someone was jealous of your family happiness and jinxed it.
  5. If something is constantly breaking in the house, this also speaks of the evil eye.
  6. Insomnia.
  7. No appetite or, conversely, a constant feeling of hunger.
  8. Irritability, constant bad mood.
  9. Infertility, sexual impotence.

External signs of the evil eye are much more subtle than the described internal or external signs of damage. Therefore, you shouldn’t get carried away with them - it’s not far from paranoia (every time you shy away from anyone who looks at you strangely...).

Thus, with the help of internal signs, you can suspect that you are under damage or the evil eye. How can you confirm/refute suspicions? It’s very simple - using external methods in general and ritual methods in particular. And the main one is the determination of spoilage using an egg.

Ritual recognition of damage by eggs.

Naturally, there is huge amount ways to use eggs to determine spoilage. Let's list the most frequently used ones.

How to tell if eggs are spoiled - option number 1.

Need to take raw egg, definitely from domestic chicken. The egg is taken in the right hand and the following words are whispered over it:

Roll the egg, from right to left, from west to east, from north to south, from the most pure angel to the dark demon. Tell the whole truth about God’s servant (name).

Next, they begin to roll the person out with the testicle - they roll it around the body in circles, always clockwise. It takes quite a long time to roll out, there is no need to rush. First they roll around the head, then circles on the chest, stomach, back, legs, feet. Once you've rolled everything out, you need to take a saucer and break the egg. If it is of normal color, if the yolk has not spread, everything is fine. And if the egg is dark, cloudy, the yolk is spreading, there is some damage and treatment is needed.

Option for recognizing spoilage by eggs No. 2.

To diagnose damage using chicken egg you need to break it into a transparent vessel filled with cold water. The egg should be poured in so that the yolk remains intact and the contents are not shaken. Next, you need to place the glass with the egg on the person’s crown for five minutes. You can also have a glass or glass jar Place the contents at the head of the bed at night while you sleep.

It is believed that if the egg has not undergone any changes, then the human biofield does not contain negative programs. If there are multiple and noticeable strands of protein on the surface of the water, then this is the evil eye. It is also unfavorable if the egg white has lost its transparency or bubbles are visible on the protein threads going up to the surface of the water. This is damage. Even worse, black dots or bloody streaks have appeared.

It should be noted that to carry out self-diagnosis it is necessary to use as much fresh egg, and the water is not chlorinated, but spring water, since chlorinated tap water is likely to become cloudy or contain bubbles.

The third option is how to determine spoilage using an egg.

Take a glass jar, pour water into it and carefully break a raw egg into it so that the yolk does not spill! Hold the jar above your head, then bring it to the back of your head, to your forehead, to your chest, to your groin, to your feet. At each of these places, hold the jar for about five minutes: this is necessary for the egg to absorb all the evil that is poisoning you.

Close the jar and place it at the head of your bed overnight.

In the morning, carefully examine what happened to the egg and water. If there is spoilage, the egg will turn black and the water will become cloudy. If not, the water will remain clean and the egg will not change in any way.

Option for recognizing spoilage using eggs No. 4.

Pour 3/4 cup of water (this is enough), hold the egg in your hands, then quickly and carefully break the egg into the glass (without damaging the yolk). Sit on a chair or armchair, tuck your chin to your chest and carefully place a glass of water and an egg on your crown. Supporting the glass with your hand, sit without moving for 3 minutes. You can change hands if you get tired, but be careful not to stir up the water.

After 3 minutes, remove the glass from your head and carefully inspect for unpleasant things.

As you can see, the systems are similar. The only difference is the method of bringing the egg to the person being diagnosed, as well as the time for “manifestation of the negative” - for the occurrence of manifestations in the egg. How to choose more the right way and time? With practice, of course :)

Interpretation of types of signals from eggs regarding spoilage.

So, general idea All of the listed methods for recognizing spoilage by eggs are that an egg poured into water after a certain time acquires various unnatural characteristics. That is, it signals the presence of a particular condition in a person. The following list will help you interpret signals from eggs in more detail:

  1. If the water is clear and the yolk has not changed and lies in the white, and the white lies in a heap, there is no damage to you.
  2. If the yolk is whole, but the whites rise up columns, like the fringe of a jellyfish, there may be one such column or several, then damage has been cast on you. This is not a very serious damage, mainly for failure in family life, for loneliness, for tears. Such damage often lasts for 3-7 years. After this period, the energy of damage is absorbed into the ether.
  3. These columns (we call them “candles”) look more like cobwebs, then this is a very slight damage. Such light damage can be caused by “amateurs,” as I call them, i.e. those who bought a book about black magic and practice doing nasty things to their friends, whose lives seem better to them than their own. Such damage still brings a streak of slight bad luck, incomprehensible ailments, quarrels in the family, troubles at work. Light damage caused by “amateurs” does not last more than a year.
  4. If the protein columns have bubbles, then the damage is strong and was done not by an amateur, but by a professional. Such damage is usually done so that you are haunted by failures and debilitating minor illnesses that are difficult to treat, or are not even recognized by doctors; more often this damage is done to harm your financial success. Such damage begins to work suddenly. That is, everything comes at once and it is unclear why, although before everything always worked out perfectly. This damage could be ordered for you by a business competitor or even a neighbor or friend whose car is worse than yours, for example.
  5. If the posts have bubbles and blackheads, or bubbles on the white columns and black dots on the yolk, then the damage was done to death or using grave soil. In this case, the one who ordered the damage hates you so much that only your death will bring him or her relief. This is usually someone who is incredibly jealous of you, or someone who you stand in the way of, or who believes that you have taken something away from them. Damage to death usually begins to take effect after 21 days and takes a person to the grave within a year.
  6. If there is squirrel on the columns bubbles, A The yolk around the edges looks like it's cooked, the damage is done so that you live, but suffer. The same damage is sometimes shown by green, gray or brown spots on the yolk in the absence of protein suppositories.
  7. If there are no protein columns, but simply the yolk is all boiled, then this special kind damage. This is a restriction so that you never feel free anywhere, even in your own home. And there are no locks, and there are no bars, but as if tied hand and foot, stew in own juice, and there is no happiness, and you want to howl like a wolf. In some cases, no one intentionally inflicts such damage on a person, he himself causes it on himself. Usually, this happens if a decent person is guilty of something, no one knows about his guilt, and his conscience does not give him peace. He longs for atonement for his guilt and, as it were, punishes himself, as if he puts himself in a “prison.” And he sets the term of his “confinement” for himself. It is very difficult to remove such damage, because a person subconsciously resists help, especially if he believes that he has not yet atoned for his guilt.
  8. If there are protein candles With bubbles And blackheads, and the edges of the yolk severely scalded with green or gray spots in the middle of the yolk, this is the most terrible damage - damage to death in terrible torment. At this point, the customer’s hatred of you for such damage has reached a pathological level. Onona not only want to get you out of the way, they want to see and enjoy your torment. Usually this is a person you know well. The most common damages are aimed at your finances and personal happiness. Damage to death is very, very rare.

By the way, a piece of advice: if damage has been detected, then the glass in which the diagnostic egg was contained should be thrown away.

Removing egg damage.

Naturally, having talked about diagnosing damage using an egg, one cannot help but say at least a few words about removing damage. To remove spoilage, the already familiar egg is traditionally used. Moreover the simplest way- use the same egg with which you determined the presence of spoilage.

The procedure is very simple: pour the contents of the fortune-telling glass into the toilet and wish goodness and love to the one who sent you the damage. Most often, of course, they recommend saying something like “let everything come back to you a hundredfold,” but there are a couple of nuances here. Firstly, vindictiveness is by no means the best assistant in witchcraft matters. Vengeance is a low-level energy, and it may not only not remove damage, but also strengthen it.

The second point that needs to be taken into account: what if you caused the damage to yourself? Or did they jinx themselves? And you wished the same thing for yourself, but 3 times more? Or did a loved one and close person do this out of ignorance - and now you are suffering with him (when some kind of terrible illness manifests itself)?

Therefore, you should not think about revenge when removing damage. And don’t let the “professionals” who are egging you on to do it do it.

By the way, after the ritual of removing damage in this way, you can carry out a control check with a new egg. If the results have worsened, it means a professional is working against you and he has figured out that they are digging under him. If the results are the same or less, it means that the energy of the damage is high, and you need to repeat the procedure of pouring the damage into the toilet. This is done until the egg says that there is no spoilage. Or until you feel better - which is also not bad.

Well, the absence of diagnostic signs is an excellent indicator; you have removed everything you could. Congratulations!

So, for your own safety, recognize the damage by looking at your eggs!

If you've forgotten how long eggs last in your refrigerator, you can do a few simple tests for freshness:

Shaking

If you hear “squelching” sounds when shaking, then the air chamber has already reached a large size and the protein has become watery. The yolk “somersaults” in the egg if it is not too fresh.

Breaking

Break the egg onto a plate.

Fresh eggs have a tall, domed yolk held in place by a ring of white. If the yolk is flat and the watery white spreads across the plate, the egg is not particularly fresh and needs to be processed quickly in the kitchen.

Immersion in water

Place the egg in a tall glass of water. Very fresh eggs will remain on the bottom. Week-old eggs will sit at an angle with the flat end facing up. If the egg floats on the surface of the water, then it is at least three weeks old. The air chamber of this egg has reached such a size that the egg floats.

Transillumination

Bring the egg, the freshness of which you doubt, to a bright light source so that the light falls from behind. Fresh, raw eggs allow light to pass through.

No matter how you turn the egg, the yolk is always centered. In older eggs, the yolk begins to wander.

And finally, a few more interesting facts

Do brown hens lay brown eggs?

But no! The color of a chicken's plumage has nothing to do with the color of its eggs. The color of the eggshell depends only on the genes of the chicken.

Do brown eggs taste better?

And again you are on the wrong track! The taste of eggs directly depends on the feed and the health of the chicken. Under equal conditions, there are no differences in the taste and nutritional value of white and brown eggs.

Eggs are a product that can be found in any refrigerator. Have you ever had the experience of boiling eggs and noticing that they are spoiled? Or perhaps the packaging does not indicate the date by which the product must be consumed; is it possible to eat them at all or is it better to throw them in the trash? Identifying a spoiled egg is not difficult. In this article we will tell you how to determine that an egg has gone bad and how to determine that it can be consumed. If eggs have been sitting in your refrigerator for a very long time, you just need to determine whether they are fresh in order to avoid disastrous situations.

How to check for a rotten egg

What does expiration date mean? This is the period of time when the products are the freshest, most delicious, and are recommended for cooking. culinary dishes. This does not mean at all that after this period has passed, the eggs have spoiled, they are simply inferior in taste to those that are fresher.


The manufacturer's code (letter and number) is indicated on the product.

In many countries, it is customary to indicate the packaging time on the eggs themselves. Because they can be sold individually without packaging. The manufacturer is obliged to inform about the expiration date.


To avoid temperature changes, the eggs should be in the coldest part of the refrigerator. The refrigerator door is absolutely not suitable for this, because this is where the temperature can fluctuate.

Do not put unwashed eggs that have been sitting on the counter in the refrigerator. In many countries, it is customary for eggs to be kept in kitchen cupboards; they are not stored in refrigerator. Considering that the chickens receive all the necessary vaccinations, nothing will happen to the eggs in the cupboards.


If you don’t know whether the eggs in your refrigerator are fresh, or there are suspicions that they have been lying around for more than 1.5 months, you need to know the signs of rotten eggs, with which you can easily determine whether these eggs can be used in cooking .

How to spot a rotten egg


When a boiled egg has a greenish tint, it was cooked for too long or the water has an excessive concentration of iron. It can be eaten.

If you find blood spots in the egg, it can also be eaten, it is quite fresh. This has no effect on taste qualities the egg itself.

How to tell if an egg is rotten or not


Ideally, if the egg good quality, it should be in the glass on its side.

If the egg is in a vertical position in the water, it was packed a relatively long time ago, but nevertheless it is still suitable for cooking.

An egg that is not fresh enough will not sink. It can still be used in culinary preparations. It needs to be broken into a bowl to determine if it is fresh, pay attention to the protein. Rule out the fact that it is spoiled by smell. An egg that should not be used is one with a strong odor.


A fresh egg will not make any sounds.

When there are any sounds in an egg, this does not mean that it cannot be eaten; such an egg is quite fresh.


In an egg that is far from fresh, the yolk will burst very quickly.

If it floats on the white, this is also an indicator that the egg is old and it is better not to use it for cooking.

Pay attention to the color of the protein itself. A white with a gray tint means that the egg is very fresh. A transparent white indicates that the egg is not very fresh, but you can eat it and it will not affect your health in any way.

  • The yolk should always be round; if it is flat, such an egg should never be consumed.
  • Do not store eggs together with other ingredients, because they will absorb odors in a very short period of time.
  • If the egg is cracked, it must be consumed within a short period of time.
  • Villagers extend the period of eating eggs by lubricating them with sunflower oil.

Be careful:

Children and the elderly are not recommended to eat eggs that have expired. You should not assume that eggs can be consumed for some time after the expiration date; you should definitely know how to check the eggs. Be careful not to harm yourself and your family. Always pay attention to the date of manufacture.

ABOUT maximum benefit eggs can only be said if they are fresh. After lying in the refrigerator for a month, they lose their nutritional value and become hazardous to health. Once ingested, an expired product causes serious intoxication, which can be fatal. Therefore, it is important to be able to independently determine the degree of freshness of such a product and understand the acceptable expiration dates. Later in the article we will tell you in detail what to look for when buying chicken and quail eggs, how long they can be stored and where is the best place to do it.

How to tell if an egg is fresh: chicken and quail

The unique structure of the eggshell allows the inside for a long time keep your beneficial properties. But for this, certain storage conditions are important. Otherwise, the inside of the product will begin to dry out, and a foul-smelling chatterbox, unsuitable for further use, will form.

There are many ways to check the freshness of eggs at home. And for this it is not at all necessary to drag a microscope and the rarest chemical reagents into the kitchen. You can even judge the suitability of these products in a store. Let's look into the details.

Did you know? Today, the world's largest egg producer is the People's Republic of China. About 160 million pieces of these products are produced there every year. Many experts attribute this to the fact that chicken first appeared in this country. And this happened somewhere in 1400 BC.

Upon purchase

Experts advise against making “blind” purchases. In their opinion, visual assessment of the product is important. Therefore, when you go to the supermarket or market to buy eggs, inspect them carefully. Recently laid specimens will be distinguished by their matte shell surface. But those that have already lain for several days will be characterized by a specific glossy shine. But you should not rely only on this verification method. Experts warn that savvy sellers resort to various tricks in order to successfully sell products. One of these is rubbing or washing each specimen.
To ensure that your purchase does not disappoint with an unpleasant-smelling substance, When choosing an egg tray, compare it with the rest of the range. Ideally, the entire dozen should have the same shell color and gloss level. If you have a diverse set in front of you, most likely the seller mixed old and fresh eggs. Smell them. Severely expired boxes will have a strong, unpleasant odor.

Important! The shell of a fresh egg has specific smell, which is very reminiscent of lime.

It also doesn't hurt to scramble a raw egg. If you hear distinct chattering inside, you should refuse the purchase. After all, chatterboxes are not suitable for consumption.

Do not ignore what is indicated on the product expiration date. By informing you about this, the manufacturer guarantees the freshness of the product provided it is stored correctly. Always choose fresh products and try to use them before the expiration date on the package.

When cooking

Many consumers do not take stamps on egg trays seriously and continue to eat expired products. According to experts, in reality he is still short time retains its suitability. But before using it, its freshness needs to be double-checked.

This is done in the following ways:


Important! Eggs are a source of salmonellosis, so they need to be boiled for at least 5 minutes in boiling water. Keep in mind that salmonella bacteria lose their viability at a temperature of +70 °C.

Video: checking eggs for freshness with water

Upon opening

Break the shell and visually assess the condition of the inside. In recently laid specimens, the white will be viscous and tightly packed, and the yolk will be convex. If the egg has been sitting for a long time, you will see a liquid, spreading white and a flat yolk.

What is the danger

The stereotype about the exceptional benefits of chicken and quail eggs has clearly taken root in society. But if the rules for their storage were violated, then there is no need to talk about the nutritional value of this protein food and the saturation of the body with vital substances. In this case, as medical statistics show, we will talk about poisoning and its consequences.

Moreover it is wrong cooking eggs, use dirty dishes, as well as infected kitchen equipment threatens development salmonellosis. The bacteria that cause this disease live in egg white, yolk and on the shell. Their source is the laying hen. Moreover, even experts will not be able to recognize infected specimens by external signs. Neither the color of the shell, nor the smell, nor other visual features of the product will reveal this.

Did you know? The Chinese dye eggs red every time a newborn arrives in the family. According to folk legends, such a ritual guarantees the baby a long and happy life..

When eating expired or contaminated eggs are hazardous to health: homemade mayonnaise, raw sugar-egg mixture (white or yolk), as well as all dishes that have undergone insufficient heat treatment. This can be fried eggs, poached eggs, or even traditional scrambled eggs. Therefore, doctors strongly recommend strictly monitoring the expiration date of such products and preparing them at high temperatures.
Signs of egg intoxication become obvious during the first 24 hours after eating low-quality food.

The eater experiences:

  • vomit;
  • nausea,
  • weakness;
  • pain in the abdominal area;
  • gastroenteritis developing against the background of the disease (when inflammation of the mucous membranes of the small intestine occurs);
  • diarrhea (as a rule, the stool is very liquid, resembles the consistency of rice water and is characterized by a dark green or yellow color);
  • increase in body temperature to 39-40 °;
  • bloating;
  • signs of colitis resulting from inflammatory processes in the large intestine;
  • spasms;
  • decreased appetite;
  • dysfunction of the central nervous system(appears when severe poisoning and is expressed by headaches, dizziness, insomnia, lethargy);
  • malfunctions cardiovascular system(pressure decreases, pulse rate and heart rhythm change);
  • bacterial infection and sepsis (with such symptoms the outcome is fatal).

Important! To extend the shelf life of eggs at home, lubricate their shells pork fat, vegetable oil or Vaseline and place in a cold room where the temperature is below +10 °C. As alternative option you can wrap each piece in plain paper and fold it with the sharp ends down, covering it with burlap.

The manifestation of the listed symptoms largely depends on the victim’s immunity. But with any degree of egg poisoning, it is important to protect the body from dehydration.
For this purpose it is recommended:

  • solution of "Regidron" or "Oralit";
  • any sorbents ( activated carbon, “Smecta”, “Polyphepan”);
  • immunomodulatory drugs (multivitamin complexes, Methyluracil);
  • antibiotics that are prescribed by a doctor individually;
  • limiting the consumption of dairy products, raw vegetables and smoked meats (it is advisable to provide the patient with a gentle diet during this period).

If after 24 hours the disease continues to progress, you need to seek medical help without wasting time.

Shelf life of eggs

What time is chicken and quail eggs will be fresh, largely depends on their origin and storage conditions:

  • when it comes to industrial production, then the shelf life of such products is limited to 28-30 days;
  • and here home products can keep its nutritional value throughout the quarter;
  • if all requirements have been met temperature conditions and the degree of humidity in the room, then fresh goods will not deteriorate even after a month (this applies to cellars and refrigerators);

  • Boiled eggs are good for 2 weeks (provided they are hard-boiled and stored in the refrigerator);
  • when the cooked product is at room temperature, after 48 hours it can no longer be consumed;
  • even in the refrigerator, soft-boiled eggs spoil after just 2 days;

  • under no circumstances long-term storage specimens with broken shells are not subject to treatment (they are recommended to be used on the same day);

  • if the shell splits during cooking, such a specimen can lie in the refrigerator for 4 days;

Where and how best to store eggs

To store such products, most consumers prefer a compartment in the refrigerator door. But experts express their indignation about this, which is due to the sharp temperature drop. In such conditions, eggs quickly lose their nutritional value and do not represent any gastronomic value.

Experienced housewives advise choosing a place for this type of product where it is always cold. Under no circumstances should you put the tray in the freezer.

In the refrigerator

Each piece must be fixed in a stable position with the sharp end down. It is important that the eggs do not touch. It is better to leave them in a special stand or tray, arranged in cells. Do not forget to close the container, because eggshells are very sensitive to neighboring odors. From the refrigerator it will absorb everything nearby.
Make sure that the temperature in the chamber is at the level +2...+4 °С. Never wash shells before storing. Such manipulations shorten the shelf life.
