Boiling an egg: to wash up, or not to wash up?

Fed up talking videogames? Why?

Do you thoroughly wash your pans after boiling an egg?

Yes of course I do you disgusting, germ-infested moron!

Have you ever boiled an egg that had a crack in it that you didn't notice? Egg white everywhere.

In the US they wash the eggs to reduce the risk of salmonella.

In the EU we don't wash the eggs to reduce the risk of salmonella.

So the pan might have had a bit of chicken vaginal fluids left in it but you've boiled the gooseberry fool out of anything that would do anyone any harm. I would have given it a quick wash with soap. It's not the end of the world that you didn't though.

British eggs stamped with the Lion brand are certified as "Salmonella free", AFAIK British farms have the hens vaccinated against salmonella.

Besides that, boiling an egg for the suggested cooking time will kill the bacteria on it.

As for whether you should 'properly' wash the pan or rinse and wipe, I'd say most of the time a rinse and thorough wipe should suffice but in a shared kitchen I'd say stick it in the dishwasher or sink with some washing up liquid to remove any potential eggy residue as someone could be massively allergic to eggs without you knowing.
