BACTERIOLOGY
Salmonella is in your nose; it is in the living room rug. There is salmonella in your
gut, plenty in your hair and on your pets. In some cat populations it is as high as
40%.80[80] It is also in your food - all of your food that hasn't been sterilized and sealed
in a container. Most cases, 90%, are household-borne or food-service
establishment-borne and institution-borne such as hospitals.81[81] Salmonella is
ubiquitous, as are most bacteria.
A CDC report in 1978 attributed salmonella food-poisoning to mayonnaise, water,
Mexican food, potato salad, hamburger casserole, and tacos. Even Peruvian fish
meal and turtles have been accused of salmonella food-poisoning. Raw milk,
even when present with salmonella, has never been proved to have caused
salmonella-poisoning. Test results and experience is proof.
The pasteurization of milk had no effect on the incidence of tuberculosis
caused by milk. You can drink milk from a tubercular cow with impunity. The blood-
membrane barrier prevents the tubercule bacteria from passing into the milk. Intestinal
TB used to be caused by tubercular milk from a tubercular milker hacking into the milk
pail. All of this has been eliminated by closed-system automatic milking machines.
Presently it is rare to find a cow with active tuberculosis.
