Idaho sees recent increase in reported illnesses associated with raw milk

Public health officials in Idaho are investigating two outbreaks of foodborne illnesses traced to unpasteurized, raw milk.

At least 23 cases of Campylobacter infections have been recorded since Aug. 1. And, there have been three cases of E. coli infections, according to a Nov. 25 statement from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. At least six of the patients infected with Campylobacter have been children younger than 12. The department did not report on the ages of the E. coli patients.

All of the patients became ill after drinking raw milk, which is sometimes referred to as fresh milk. The patients have been reported throughout Idaho with two requiring hospitalization after drinking various brands of raw milk.

“People should be aware of possible health risks before consuming raw, unpasteurized dairy products or providing such products to family members, particularly people who might be at higher risk for illness, including young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those who are immunocompromised,” according to the health department.

Raw milk can contain harmful bacteria, including Campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella, all of which are killed during the pasteurization process. Infections with these bacteria can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever and dehydration. In some cases, particularly among people in high-risk groups, complications can be severe.

In Idaho, raw milk can be sold legally through multiple outlets, but it is not required to be tested for bacteria such as Campylobacter, E. coli or other disease-causing agents.

Anyone who has recently consumed raw milk and is experiencing symptoms is encouraged to seek medical care promptly. For additional information or to report an illness, contact your local public health district.
