A member asked:
Can people have allergic reactions by only touching the shell of eggs, for example coloring easter eggs only. not eating them. or egg if is hollowed & only shell remains to fill with confetti. family member has bad egg allergy & i want to be careful.

Should be safe: People who are allergic to eggs are reacting to eating the white and or the yolk. The shell is a different material than the white and yolk and touching it should not be a problem. I have never heard of anyone reacting to touching the shell so this should not be a problem.
