Apparently reassuring news from the Food Standards Agency that pregnant women; babies and even ye olde folk can again eat boiled eggs with runny yolks (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/oct/11/egg-safety-weve-cracked-it-britons-told-by-food-watchdog). This follows confirmation that flocks in the UK are all routinely vaccinated so as not to carry Salmonella with its risk of food-poisoning (with potentially catastrophic effects on susceptible groups). Of course, not all eggs on sale here come from UK flocks and people might well not know the origins of their purchased eggs. I must admit that I have always (even since the Salmonella warning) favoured soft-boiled eggs even when driving around abroad!
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
