Post #326,235 by malraux 5/14/10 2:59:08 PM Reply	I had the same question The rest of the report goes on to say that raw milk consumption is something like .5% of total, and raw milk was responsible for .4% of the total reported illnesses. (going from memory, the numbers may be slightly different) Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
Post #326,238 by drook 5/14/10 3:20:20 PM Reply	Problem with the numbers There are multiple reported instances where CDC was investigating possible food-borne illness, and they stopped asking questions after the respondent said they drank raw milk. So in several of the cases counted as "raw milk contamination" there was never a positive test for pathogens in any milk. And the numbers are so small that even a few instances of this are enough to skew the percentages. -- Drew
