I don't think the melting tape would be of any harm to your eggs, they are in a shell. As for you it is probably not a smell you want to be inhaling a lot of but I don't see it being much worse than the everyday toxins in out air each day ( just a little more condensed and stinky)

has the smell gone away yet or at least gotten less pungent?
I would be more worried about the fumes being absorbed into the permeable eggs.
The aluminum is safe as long as its not being used to insulate wires, which it sounds like BB isn't doing. I'll admit I cut corners in my own wiring at times and use electrical tape and butt connectors. When doing wiring solder and heat shrink is what should be used at all times to cover an exposed wiring or connections in things like thermostats, important vehicle wiring, and anything that will be exposed to significant amounts of heat.
That's my opinion, but hey, what do I know? I'm only building a race car (STUPID EXPENSIVE hobby btw).
