WFAA reports a woman is still weak following a life-threatening salmonella infection investigators say came from a glass of raw milk she consumed two months earlier.
Mary Chiles, 57, purchased the raw milk from Lavon Farms in Plano, north of her Dallas residence. She tried the unpasteurized milk because a friend had told her it was more natural and healthy. Chiles says the raw milk went directly to her blood, giving her a fever which reached a high of 105 degrees.
Lavon Farms’ raw milk sales are on hold by state investigators until tests are complete. Four people, Chiles and three children, recently became sick after drinking raw milk from farms throughout the state. The infection left Chiles in the hospital for six days followed by another nine days in a nursing home. She has decided to never drink raw milk again.
Despite the serious illness the state of Texas is considering a bill making raw milk more accessible. House Bill 75 would expand raw milk sales to farmers markets. The Texas Medical Association and the Dallas County Health Department are issuing alerts to warn consumers of the dangers of unpasteurized products.

Report AbuseHow can the title of this article be correct since there has the tests are not completed to determine the source yet? What else did she eat or drink? Why does this make headlines when people get infections in hospitals all the time and this does not make headlines?

Report Abusewhere are the other hundreds of people that drink milk from these dairies - shouldn't they all be sick - "small glass..2months ago" come on do they really think that we're so uninformed and stupid - interesting, all this gets reported at the same time as legislature is looking to pass a bill on the expansion of raw milk sales - fear and suspicion are news-makers and a good way to control and manipulate, but doesn't lend itself to Truth
Truth
Report AbuseBacterial infections take hours before they manifest. This seriously sounds like BS.
