Please let me know what they got sick and/or died from when they drank raw
milk. Was the producer grade "A". The reason I asked was that we live in an
area with many dairy farms and in all the time I've been around I've never
even heard of anyone getting sick from let alone die from unpasturized milk.
Furthermore, as far as I know our herboligest(sp?) and their comunity highly
recommends unpasturized milk because of its high nutritional value. Please
shed some light on this.
Thanks,
Paul Schmitmeyer

That way, the subscriber would be responsable for any other use.

important thing is to be sure the cows are free from TB (Brucellosis too,
although it's rarely lethal), and that handling avoids contamination from
salmonella and listeria etc.
