I drank raw milk once when i was 9

I was visiting a girl from school for the weekend...

We took our Corn Flakes out to the pasture, caught one of the cows and milked her right there so we would have hot milk on our cereal

the girl was used to the milk...

I got Yellow Jaundice a type of hepatitis

That is very unfortunate.

I was the oldest of 6 brats and we were brought up on raw milk. We made our own butter from the cream too.

We were never sick and so far, I have made it to 63. ;>)

I don’t drink it anymore, but probably would if I could get it without having to raise a cow.

Fresh whole milk! Yummy!

“I got Yellow Jaundice a type of hepatitis”

I had an infant brother who died of complications of Yellow Jaundice around 1940, (Before I was born) easily treated with Bili light nowadays.

There's your problem.

I drank raw milk from my mother, then from cows until the age of 5, when my sister was born.

My parents, then being considerably more prosperous, fed her first formula, then store-bought pasteurized milk.

I have been relatively disease and allergy-free most of my life and she has had and continues to have numerous health problems.

Not long ago I attended a 1898 Fourth of July Celebration, a living history day at a dairy farm that is now a park.

While there, organizers milked a cow then rushed the bucket of milk directly from the cow, to a hand crank ice cream freezer.

There were many children and some adults, who volunteered to crank the machine.

The ice cream was delicious, enjoyed by all.
