I saw an expert say that as much as we wanna let folks mess around and find out — drinking raw milk will start a PUBLIC health issue. And we’ve seen how well we do with that 🙃🙃🙃
Bird flu has been discovered in a batch of raw milk sold in California store refrigerators, state regulators said Sunday. While there have been no reported illnesses in this most recent case, it comes just a few days after a child tested positive for bird flu for the first time in U.S. history.
