Raw Milk Outbreak in Florida Sickens 21, Prompts Health Warning

Raw Milk Outbreak in Florida Sickens 21, Prompts Health Warning

Imagine milk straight from the cow, called raw milk.

In Florida, some people got sick after drinking it.

This milk had tiny bugs called E. coli and campylobacter, which made them very sick.

Twenty-one people fell ill, some needed to go to the hospital, and some had serious problems like kidney issues.

Health officials are worried about how clean the farms are where this milk comes from.

Even though raw milk is liked by some people, like celebrities, because they think it's healthy, doctors still suggest drinking milk that has been cleaned, called pasteurized milk, to avoid getting sick.
