  • Allergic reactions: Some people are allergic to eggs. Eating eggs at high temperatures can make allergic reactions worse.
  • Increased cholesterol: Eggs are high in cholesterol. Eating eggs at high temperatures can increase your cholesterol levels.

If you are concerned about any of these risks, it is best to talk to your doctor.
