A man has been eating raw chicken for 25 days, just to see if he'd get sick.
A man named John, has been documenting an experiment on Instagram under the account @rawchickenexperiment, there he says he will continue eating raw chicken every day 'until I get a tummy ache'.
John has been eating raw chicken breast, and blending up raw meat, with raw eggs, lettuce and seasoning in a food processor, and drinks it, putting aside the threat of salmonella. Salmonella is a bacteria associated with raw chicken, but can also be contracted through beef, milk, seafood and eggs.
What could be working in John's favor is that the Japanese eat sashimi-style chicken, which is basically chicken sushi, but they breed salmonella-resistant chickens to avoid any ill effects. John has been eating chickens from a local farm, which could be eliminating the threat of the bacteria.
Regardless John is going for 100 days or until he's hospitalised.
Good luck John, you;re gonna need it.
