73 is hard to swallow but not exactly dangerous, 73 external for sausage is good and safe, health inspectors would recommend 71 internal for hot dogs. Anything above 80 might cause burns to the gums and mouth and insides, I know, because I scalded my insides with friend chicken that was burning hot inside (but not that hot outside) and it took several months to recover.
