The prevalence of H5N1 genetic material in purchased milk products suggests the bird flu outbreak is far more widespread in cows than official counts indicate.
Yeah, ehec can very easily kill a person. Kidney failure and all that.
As a kid my extended family had dairy cows so we often got fresh raw milk from them. It was a small farm, pasture raised healthy animals and a different era. I’m not in the US. Hygiene regulations were very strict where I live at the time and farms were a decent size, animals were treated a lot better than today.
It tastes very good, but it’s still just milk. I would never drink it now of ever get it from some random farm.
Yep. There are people who claim that pasteurization “ruins” the milk, usually with some vague claims about “nutrients”
Personally I’d much rather nutrient deficient milk that won’t give me E-coli, but that’s just me.
