Think there was a post about allergic reaction to eggs. Found wiki article indicating something in 'brown' eggs only? Is this substance possible cause of allergic reaction? link to wiki>>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoporphyrin_IX

According to the wiki article protoporphyrin is component of brown eggs

However this finding: white eggs glow red under UV light. But, inside of shell may be covered with membrane and does not glow red.

Would this indicate protoporphyrin to not be implicated in allergic reaction since it appears to only be evident on outside of shell.

What I do know is that when ordering eggs...if brown are the same price or cheaper I prefer brown to white.

Brown eggs are usually from healthier chickens and have better eggs with darker yolks and stronger shells.

Just saying. I used to go through 300 eggs a week minimum. Now they are all expensive because of bird flu and they had to wipe out the flocks.

Did you read any of wiki allergy symptoms? I always eat eggs but might have the mild symptom of runny nose. I think the symptoms are on the article of link on this post. Some are more severe. Then it just may be runny nose and feet that smell indicate I was built upside down.

If you are wondering if you have an allergy, you probably have at least a sensitivity.
I think the feed the chickens get are causing more of us to react to the meat and eggs. My body won't even swallow chicken. The sensors in the throat won't allow even organic chicken to go down. The eggs cause an upset stomach. It started with milder symptoms. I used to be able to eat free range organic with no problem. Glyphosate in feed, and some of the cheapest unhealthy ingredients the companies put in feed are the big problems with most meat and layer IMHO.

Normally, small farm raised free range eggs that are not provided commercial mix are extremely healthy complete protein sources.
My doctor recommends half a dozen or more a day. I did that and felt fine until I developed that allergy. If it was me, I'd go off eggs for a couple months and reintroduce only a few free range organic that aren't fed soy or GMO corn.

Chicken feed just like all other animal feed is out of control. Bottom line rules in industry. Even 'organic' raised is probably real difficult if not impossible with all polluted environments. I am 'experimenting' with the protoporphyrin and maybe 'something' to be discovered. My symptoms so mild and really like eggs so not quitting.

Wiki says on brown eggs and I checked my white, only whites I have, and already posted elsewhere that outer shell, picture is of white?, shows fluorescing but inner does not. Not sure if membrane is on inner causing this but don't think so. Curious as to possible allergic reaction for some by PPIX. Probably not since seems to be on outer shell but other curiosity is reaction of burning 'soft' metals on shell. Lead in 60/40 solder quickly goes to litharge and zinc releases an extremely 'light' cloud like material. Not much but floats so that it is easy to miss as it is released. I am terrible at keeping records of what 'experiments' I do so never know exactly how they are done. LOL>>>>LOL>>>>crazy>>>LOL
