[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 19235"] All that the milk lasting in the fridge indicates is bacteria within the udder and the degree of cleanliness in obtaining it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And yes, usually diseases can be there for quite a while before showing any signs. For example, TB has to be pretty far along before any clinical signs are ever seen. It is usually found at slaughter as a few nodules in the lung. The other way it is picked up is a TB test. Brucellosis has a carrier state in which seemingly healthy animals can spread disease. Since it's not in this area, I can't recall how long that can last. There's also listeria monocytogenes which can cause fetal damage and abortion in humans, from cow's milk (generally silage but can occur without it) Frankly, it's your decision. I have children, and I have drank unpasturized milk before, but I won't let them. Why do I want to take the chance? JMHO V [/QUOTE]
