Raw milk sales rise due to false belief in immunity
Gizmodo — May 14, 2024, 11:00 PM UTC
Summary: Sales of raw milk in the U.S. have increased by 21% since the bird flu outbreak in dairy cattle. 46 herds in nine states tested positive for the virus. The USDA found high concentrations of H5N1 in raw milk, raising concerns about mutations and human transmission. The World Health Organization reported 889 human cases and 463 deaths from H5N1 since 2003, with a mortality rate of 52%. Drinking raw milk for immunity is dangerous and unsupported by science.
