OK dumbass Doctor with the pDh, are you saying that the milk is what makes people sick and not the external contaminates? Done properly, raw milk is safe for human consumption.
Right, the guy who spent 20+ years working with infectious agents thinks it's the milk itself ...
Do you ever stop and think "maybe I shouldn't be so Dunning-Kruger all the time ... "
Have you ever even been in a commercial dairy while operating? It's filthy. The cows are standing in shtt outside waiting to get milked and they drag it in with them. Then they dip the teats in a solution to sterilize them and hook up the vacuum pump. That's the extent of their cleanliness program in the milking barn. And no, I wouldn't advise drinking THAT milk raw. But again, it can be done right and safe to drink.

I grew up in farm country in western NY. Yes, I've seen dairy cows in a milking barn.
That's the point, sport. Yes, it can be done, but it's not worth the risk. Farmer or employee gets lazy, complacent, doesn't switch out disinfectant when needed, does it sloppily or quickly ... especially in a large operation.
The nature of dairy farming is precisely why pasteurization was developed. It's a catch for preventing sloppy procedures from making dozens or hundreds of people sick.
Which is exactly what the story is about.
