What Are The Dangers Of Eating Rotten Egg?

I was baking a cake last night. As I added the eggs, one smelled funny. It was already in the batter and mixer when I noticed the smell. I went ahead and placed the cake in the oven since it was completely mixed - but I'm afraid to eat it. What are the dangers of eating it assuming the egg was rotten?

Thanks for contacting HCM. Rotten eggs should not be eaten as it can lead to sever food poisoning due to germs like salmonella and can have pre formed toxins which can not only cause food poisoning but also myocardits and death. Regards
