Raw Milk Outbreak in Florida Sickens 21, Including Children

Twenty-one people, including six children, in Florida have fallen ill with E. coli or campylobacter infections after consuming raw milk from an unidentified farm, with some hospitalized and experiencing severe complications. Despite health warnings, raw milk remains popular, but it poses significant health risks due to dangerous bacteria, especially for vulnerable groups. Florida bans the sale of raw milk for human consumption, but some retailers circumvent regulations by labeling it for pets or animals.
