Exactly. I’ve raised chickens for over 20 years. Never ONE problem in all that time - and we’ve eaten them, eaten their eggs, my kids were always playing with them, no one in my household has EVER gotten sick from chickens.
I’m not saying you can’t get sick; it’s just never happened to us, and we were not 100% scrupulous or hygienic about it, either. Of course, no chickens in the house...we had three dogs and two cats at any given time, LOL!
Maybe people’s immune systems are weak these days, due to a lack of fresh air and sunshine? ;)
I think this article says that if you eat chicken _hit that you’ll get sick.
We always seemed to know that was a bad idea.
Without the government telling us.

I think it’s because those of us that have been around farm animals for years are somewhat immune.
My kids were raised on our goat’s raw milk. However, I still get very nervous when friends and family want to drink our milk.
It’s the people that live in sanitize environments who always seem to get sick.
You always hear about the one poor kid that got deathly ill from some petting zoo, when hundreds of other kids were just fine.
It’s funny that they re saying that the people are getting sick from birds that came from a hatchery, but no mention of the people that work at the hatcheries getting sick.
