How safe is it to eat raw eggs? (lemmy.ml)

I wanted to try a japanese dish called tamago kake gohan, it's basically raw eggs mixed with rice. The problem is that I'm scared to get salmonella from it. Do you guys think it's safe to eat them? I'm currently living in Brazil. Also, I saw this article telling that the brand I buy my eggs from is exporting to Japan, would this mean they're salmonella-free?

For sure. I have a micro homestead with a lot of chickens (dozens upon dozens lol) - we raise them for eggs, meat, and the manure (which we use to make awesome soil for the garden). We keep the coop extremely clean (like multiple times a month we clean it out), and we keep our chickens healthy (constantly treating for parasites, mites, worms, etc) so they live a happy healthy life.

Those eggs come out clean in the nests because we keep them clean as well. I personally would probably rinse it off right before cracking open just because it's me, but yeah there's no salmonella in our coop because we maintain sanitary conditions (probably way more than the average backyard chicken owner).
