More of a heads up than a lecture, I *politely talked* with workers during a slow time. Warned them about the risks of raw milk and how we will soon be testing for it.

Honestly felt embarrassed and didn’t think anything about it.

A week and a half later.. they no longer stock raw milk products!

I knew my Co-Op in Tallahassee sold raw milk and I did some digging. This farm (I have visited personally) is selling raw milk in BULK to mainly food deserts.

Note the microscopic disclaimer on the label. I couldn’t see without zoom.

🧵 thread on helping your community minimize H5N1 risk:

H5N1 was detected in Tallahassee wastewater. Knew this from wild bird cases since 2022 + sampling at farms

Specifically seeing cow remains strewn about on farms—something I’ve never seen in 3 gens of my family raising cattle in FL.

Trying to find Native/NDN community on here! So I’ll boost a must-see documentary of Wet'suwet'en Land Defenders taking on illegal Canadian loggers, oil pipelines, and land grabbers

“Yintah” on Netflix is now streaming!

My last sample site for the week:
Cow-Pig (shit) Pond where all the livestock waste makes its way into the water.

I upped my PPE game before canoeing into the middle and collecting samples.

This is N FL. Cow country. And undoubtedly where H5N1 is quietly spread thanks to no testing.

I started an account for my public health updates/mutual aid insta to update more frequently than the monthly zine [distributed on insta]

Just getting started but stay tuned!
