Unpasteurised milk presents a risk at the best of times – but not in parts of woo-woo California, it seems.
Despite the US health authorities warning that raw milk may contain live H5N1 virus – linked to bird flu outbreaks across 39 dairy farms – some people are reported to be seeking more of it.
Just as some alternative health devotees swear by the insertion of jade eggs into the female reproductive system, others in the same cohort now believe that drinking milk contaminated with live H5N1 may actually be good for you.
Mark McAfee, founder of the Fresno-based Raw Milk Institute, told The Telegraph, he had received multiple calls from people in California requesting samples of H5N1-infected milk.
