Raw milk carries the same risk as all raw food.
I don’t see the government banning lettuce or cantaloupe. Which has killed thousands over the years.
My family drinks raw milk from from our goats daily and none of us has ever gotten sick.
Could it happen? Sure it could. There is a risk with all raw foods.
Do you worry about the risks when you pick a tomato or some lettuce from your garden or buy it from the grocery store?
I do think raw milk has more health benefits. However, I drink it mostly because it tastes so much better.
I just don’t see the need to boil the crap out of my milk anymore than I feel the need to boil a tomato I pick out of my garden.
I doubt there’s much risk in drinking raw milk from your own goats. Probably more when you’re talking about a commercial operation. More goats, and more opportunity for the milk to go bad. Still, I’m not advocating the government ban it. There’s too much government interference in people’s lives already.
