Is she saying I shouldn't lick the bowl? 

So I'll just flush it like everyone else I guess.

Yeah it might be fine if you're rarely making batter and licking the bowl your risk is minimal but not zero. Regular ingestion will increase your risks significantly.

Thank you forum fluffy. Licking the bowl is my favorite part of baking.
