Campylobacter Sickens 11 With Raw Milk From

Article: http://www.marlerblog.com/ I talked with Katharhynn
Heidelberg of the Montrose
Daily Press about yet another raw milk outbreak: Seattle
attorney Bill Marler said that doesn’t mean raw milk is safe. Marler has
represented several clients, or their survivors, in food-borne illness cases,
even taking on Con-Agra. “The
amount of raw milk that is sold commercially is actually quite small and is
unfortunately growing,” he said. “The number of illnesses and the
frequency of illnesses, in my opinion, certainly indicates that it
is a growing problem, not a shrinking one you can ignore.” Colorado
does not allow the commercial sale of raw milk. But a recent law allows for
cow-shares, which Marler, speaking generally, said is being used to sidestep
commercial-sale bans. One
of Marler’s clients, a formerly healthy 39-year-old Californian, developed a rare and progressively paralytic
illness
after drinking raw milk. Marler said she’s been rendered quadrupalegic and
claims raw milk is to blame. “A
lot of times, raw milk groups have a tendency to say the health department is
out for them, rather than that the health department is doing its job. That’s
part of their marketing scheme, to feel like they’re being put upon,” Marler
said. “It’s
not like I had a particular jag against raw milk, it’s just frankly another
food that poisons people and the producers have to be as responsible as the
corporations.” |
