Another "raw milk" incident...

127. Indeed, you should understand medical history if you really want to understand the problem

If you want to talk about "societal amnesia" I'm more than happy to do so.

100 years ago people herded milk cows into feed lots where they lived in their own shit and fed them primarily distillery slop, or less commonly hay or grain. So the conditions were not only optimum for pathogens, they were severely hindering the conditions needed for producing the beneficial bacteria that prevent pathogens from multiplying. When cows live in pastures instead of their own filth and are milked under the proper conditions, this problem becomes exceedingly rare. When dairies are inspected to insure these conditions are being met, the problem becomes even less common. If you want examples of this, I can't point to several all over the world. The problem in the US is some state regulating agencies are trying to regulate raw milk the same way pasteurized milk is regulated, which doesn't work.
