Florida woman intentionally drinks unpasteurized milk, then blames the dairy for miscarriage. (The bolding is mine.)
A woman is suing a Florida dairy farm after alleging that coming into contact with bacteria from its raw, unpasteurized milk caused her to suffer a miscarriage.
Rachel Maddox filed a lawsuit in Seminole County on Wednesday against Keely Farms Dairy of New Smyrna Beach, the same business that was last week tied to at least 21 cases of E. coli and Campylobacter bacteria sickness by state health officials, according to Orlando’s News 6.
Of the 21 people taken ill, six were children under 10 and seven were hospitalized, at least two of whom have suffered severe complications, the officials say.
“I became very ill and I mean the sickest I’ve ever been in my life,” Maddox told News 6. “I came really close to dying and our [unborn] son did die. The doctors told me that I was lucky to be alive.”
Did she skip every health and history class? There’s no excuse to not know unpasteurized milk has a good chance of killing you. And WTF is with the parents giving that milk to children?
