Its far more dangerous to get into a car.
I happen to be a medical researcher working in the field of infectious disease. Since I keep track of the annual number of illnesses and deaths that occur from infectious disease, I don't think I'm being hysterical at all.
People have a right to have scientifically accurate information about matters concerning their health.
So how many people die each year from drinking raw milk?
(And that would explain why you’d be paranoid about it. People who watch the news get the sense there’s massive crime in the world too.)
Then I presume you know that milk is an excellent culture.
You probably also know that testing for TB is common & that bacteria CAN be present in milk before it is expressed, but that the vast number of current horror anecdotes is of bacteria that are introduced after the milking. Unlike commercial dairies, home dairies filter the milk immediately after milking (within 5 minutes) & immediately cool it.
Commercial dairies put their milk into large tanks that can have an inch or so of green scum floating on top. But that seems to be ok, because eventually it is filtered out & heated to 160 degrees. The milk we buy at the store will last about 10 -14 days. Then it rots. The milk we use from our cows will last about 14 days & then it sours & can still be used for baking, etc.
