Yeah, but how about from the farmer with 2-3 cows on 10 acres of grass that has a single milking stall and washes the cows’ udders with H2O2 before milking?

[Mase]

Yeah, because there are so many dairy operators doing this. Good grief. Even though this is an unusual and rare example that would absolutely reduce the risk of infection, there is no way you can fully eliminate the risk from pathogens entering the milk from outside sources.

Additionally, your unusual example does nothing to mitigate the many dangerous pathogens that enter the milk from inside the cow.

Why not just pasteurize the milk and sleep at night knowing your kids aren't going to end up with Malta fever? There is little nutritional difference, and it is still an enjoyable product to drink. It just won't make you sick. Why people choose to roll the dice with their health when it comes to milk makes absolutely no sense.
