Raw milk is delicious but deadly. RFKennedy Jr.

14. You likely drank the milk the same day it was pulled

I also grew up on a dairy farm. And your family must have taken care to properly sanitize your cattle's teats prior to milking, along with proper equipment sanitation. As such, your risk of infection was very low.

But stretch that out to a few days, sub-optimal cooling, playing fast and loose with the sanitation, and you're asking for trouble.

If you don't know the farmer who pulled your raw milk on a first name basis, you shouldn't be drinking it. It's all about trust.
