Good for them! The first case so far! I was just saying that I think I had the Swine flu couple weeks ago… still coughing my lungs out for the past 2 weeks! My mom is giving me all these different soups and mixes to try on helping to sooth my throat, so far still coughing. I hope to stop coughing sooner, it’s just irritating to people around me.

Raw milk
December 30, 2008I heard about this for a while and it became very popular slowly. Just north of us the Wisconsin folks are very keen on it, but it still illegal to sell raw milk due to health risk. This is what I found on the topic:
Milk and milk products provide a wealth of nutrition benefits. But raw milk can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks to you and your family. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 800 people in the United States have gotten sick from drinking raw milk or eating cheese made from raw milk since 1998.
Raw milk is milk from cows, sheep, or goats that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria. This raw, unpasteurized milk can carry dangerous bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, which are responsible for causing numerous foodborne illnesses.
These harmful bacteria can seriously affect the health of anyone who drinks raw milk, or eats foods made from raw milk. However, the bacteria in raw milk can be especially dangerous to pregnant women, children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
