With Bird Flu in Raw Milk, Many Still Do Not Know Risks of Consuming It. (www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org)

Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) located H5N1 bird flu virus in samples of raw, or unpasteurized, milk in tests in four states in April 2024, and bird flu has been detected in commercially sold raw milk, many Americans do not know that consuming raw milk and its products poses greater health risks than consuming pasteurized milk and its products, especially for children. Consuming raw milk can expose one to Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Listeria, and Brucella – and, potentially, H5N1 bird flu.

Oh well, let them consume it and find the grave

Usually I would agree, but unfortunately for us the more people consuming bird flu milk, the more likely the virus is to mutate into something even worse.

True, I wish they’d just off themselves proper and rid us of their stupidity so they’d stop endangering the world

Who drinks bird milk anyway?

I’ve seen what birds feed their offspring. I do NOT want that on my cereal.
