in a way, no, because raw milk is already unsafe to drink by the time it's packaged
+1 for this: I have very personal experience with an E.Coli outbreak in a small town in southern Utah in 2017. Although the infections did not come from raw milk directly, the infections were traced to the area where the milk was packaged - and albeit anecdotally, there were several related deaths over the years that I was aware of, that were never reported due to the...uh...unique religious background of the place.
so yeah, I mean...don't let your children play in manure but also...don't drink milk that you sanitize less than you sanitize your hands.
Tuberculosis has entered the chat.
And Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella, Salmonella.. It's the Macy's parade equivalent of preventable diseases by UHT and y'all been invited!
On the other hand, unrefrigerated raw milk is a fantastic way of meeting who's who of the bacterial world.
For some people it's the only culture they'll ever have.
But it's natural! And natural always means it's good for you, because I'm scared of chemicals despite not knowing what a chemical is because I can't pronounce their names!
Exactly, Salmonella can be on its own a great way to boost your defenses*.
*If you survive it.
Salmonella?!? But I'm not having fish!
