Duck Eggs Making Me Sick?

[Tereseb]

Okay wow so here we are a few days later and this post has a lot of useful information in it! Here's what I've gathered so far:
It's probably not salmonella or a food borne illness in general because the symptoms take hours to set in.
Possible mild allergy or just intolerant to them.
Now here's where I've got a few more questions.
I looked up the symptoms of staph infection based food poisoning, and our symptoms sound A LOT like that, including the quick onset. None of my birds have any lesions, sores, cuts, or appear sick at all. They couldn't be carrying staph dormantly inside their bodies, then transferring it to the eggs right?
Another thing here that didn't even cross my mind until I was reading another post about this. We have eaten the eggs before in baked goods with no issues. I was not aware, but my boyfriend (who has had worse reactions than I) has eaten them in a few omelettes when we first started getting eggs. We have different work schedules so I wasn't aware he had eaten them before, in essentially the exact same state as scrambled, and he did not get sick from them. We changed our birds food since then to the Country Road (Rural King brand) Layer Crumble. Could there be something in that food making us sick? It's not spoiled or anything, and I was feeding them DuMor Layer Crumble before. Can't find ingredients online for either of course But that is the biggest change I've noticed that could maybe make us sick now and not before.
Overall I plan to buy some egg wash and I'm going to switch their food back anyways because I haven't been impressed with the Country Road.

See some of my posts.
-Yes. It could be food poisoning-some forms do act within hours.
-Yes, the eggs could be cracked and contaminated.
-Yes, it could be allergies. Keep a food diary.
'Food allergies won't always show up on a scratch test or blood test and act quickly and cause the symptoms you describe.
-You must wash in 90° water or better.
-Yes, you could be reacting to THEIR food, proteins DO cross into eggs, like from soy, corn, wheat, other things.
-Candle eggs to rule out cracks.

Maybe old duck eggs.. Them buggers hide eggs well.. Use the float test, cause you never know.. Baked all day in the sun, rolled out from somewhere.. or inferior product, there is also a case for any recent feed change or even more of the same refreshed.. look at dog food recalls. Also duck eggs would have a higher fat content than chicken. Have that issue occasionally with similar effect.. Ate a goose egg once, a most extravagant of meals! I do go through similar reactions on and off, and does depend on how they are prepared.. Poached no problem, no oils.. Easy over is easier on the gullet compared burnt sunny side up. Boiled goes either way, and depends on preparation and final use.. and then there is that bug thingy, gesundheit!

Can you share more about the toxicity remaining despite bacteria being killed by heat? Do you have any scientific references I can check out? I’m curious to learn more since the vet, food safety doctorate and usda consultant we’re confident the only thing I needed to do was ensure the eggs were sufficiently cooked to kill bacteria.

Also true allergies can cause vomiting diarrhea even to the point of hospitalization.
My daughter tested positive for beef. We kept a food diary and had it narrowed down to that.Her symptoms were vomiting/ diarrhea/abdominal pain. No hives/etc.
Her scratch test was positive which doesn't always happen
FPIES is a serious disease that requires specialized testing to determine gut allergens.

Food allergies: can be mediated by IgA antibodies in the gut or usual IgE antibodies- which is usually associated with allergies that produce hives, rhinitis, swollen mucous membranes, swollen lips, etc. gut symptoms are cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain. The symptoms occur quickly and are often mistaken for food poisoning. They can't always be picked up by a scratch test or and blood tests are highly inaccurate.
