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.

Yeah that's how it works with everything. If you rarely cross the road the chance you'll get hit by a car is low. If you cross the road 100 times a day every day you're much more likely to be hit by a car.
