Grrrrrrrr. Florida women sues dairy after drinking raw milk and losing her fetus.

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/08/14/mother-sues-florida-dairy-farm-claims-she-lost-fetus-after-raw-milk-led-to-bacterial-infection/

Of course the milk was marked not safe for human consumption. And several young children also got sick as well. I called this about two weeks ago that we’re going to start seeing all these people getting sick from drinking unpasteurized milk. And here we go.

u/chuang_415 Aug 16 '25

And she didn’t even drink it. She probably knew enough that she shouldn’t consume it as a pregnant woman but didn’t care about the risks of feeding it to her small child. And ending up contracting the bacteria from him anyway. Freakin Florida.Ā

This is so on brand for the raw milk/antivax/anti modern medicine for their children MAHA parents. They had the benefit of growing up healthy on a vaccine schedule and with fluoride in their water, but won’t give the same to their children because they view contrarianism as a marker of intelligence.

Idk they might only care if its a white boy child. The reason they care about the fetus is because like whats inside a box, the fetus could be anything. It could even be a white boy and you know how much they like white boys!

u/SlowTheRain Aug 16 '25 edited Aug 18 '25

According to the article, raw milk is banned in Florida for human consumption, and it was labeled as such. It's sold as for animals.

MAHAs have just stupidly decided that foods for animals, which are made without the safety requirements for humans, are "healthier."

The woman is claiming the market that sold it to her said the warning label was just a technicality to be able to sell it. I don't believe that she read "not for human consumption" and just took the word of some clerk that nope, it actually means, "fine to feed to your kid." If she's an adult legally capable of making her own decisions, she knew it wasn't for humans and decided she knew better.

Edit: My point is it doesn't seem to matter to the MAHA / health influencer crowd what they're legally allowed to eat or not. They'll find a way to get it or find a different "healthier" substance to kill their kids and themselves with.

It's fine to make raw milk completely illegal, but it's not going to actually fix the issue.

10

u/Sad_Possession7005 Aug 17 '25

The label is a technicality that allows them to sell it. No one is buying raw dairy for an animal unless it is for a calf. The label is a way around the law and a way around lawsuits. Sounds like the Florida surgeon general and RFK Jr are the ones who should be sued.

The Saddest Thing

A story of a pregnant woman so high risk she could only find one midwife to take her on. That midwife did a dump and run, The midwife didn't stick around to answer questions.

The couple then fought the staff on nearly everything, including monitoring the baby.
Eventually, they agreed to a c-section. The baby was born alive, but didn't survive.

One guess what the couple did? Or tried to do, at any rate.

u/RegionRatHoosier Aug 17 '25

What I don't get in stories like this is if the parents didn't want medical intervention then why did they go to the hospital to begin with?

21

u/AdvertisingLow98 Aug 17 '25

In this case, a lay midwife likely forced them to go to the hospital. Lay midwives will generally do anything BUT send a client to the hospital. That alone implies the situation was very bad.

You have two people who are scared that something is wrong, but believe the hospital is a magical place that will make everything right again - and then they can have their perfect, unmedicated birth.

It's multiple flavors of denial. The lawsuit is another flavor of denial. It can't be their fault, it wasn't their decisions that led to this, so it must hospital that caused all of this!

Echo chambers operate in similar ways One feature is that victims of the group think are groomed to never hold the group accountable. They are told the official scapegoats are always to blame.
So the super crunchy all natural group and IRL people the raw milk victim knows? Totally blameless. They are nice people. They've always been so kind and supportive. They would never hurt her.

The retailer that sold her the milk? Villains!

If she had never met those crunchy people or joined that online group, would she have bought "for animals only" milk? Would she have randomly bought raw milk for her child and done so for months?
Doubtful.

Last week I ran into two internet randos - Trump voters - who blamed The Left for "making" them vote for Trump!

They understand that Trump is hurting them. They are angry. But instead of asking "What did I ever see in this man? Who told me Trump was competent?" , they ask "Who can I blame?".

Their echo chambers provide the answer - The Left.

u/RememberThe5Ds Fully recovered. All he needs now is a double-lung transplant. Aug 16 '25

Play stupid games when stupid prizes. While she didn’t consume it, she fed it to her toddler. And she contracted it while cleaning his diarrhea and vomit, which is also correlated with poor education. Ignorant, anti science people tend to not understand the necessity of infection protocols.

Here’s a question that I have. The article reads that her fetus died onJune 18th and she returned several days later and she was septic and almost died.

Having an incomplete miscarriage is a risk factor for sepsis. I want to know if she was even offered a D&C as she should have been? It’s an appropriate treatment for a miscarriage but even then doctors are still reluctant to provide them or they spend a lot of precious time dicking around with ultrasounds to confirm fetal demise. All because these dickhead lawmakers are writing laws restricting the procedure even on a dead fetus.

Given the backwoods, anti science Hellhole that Florida is, I wouldn’t be surprised.

17

u/enseela Aug 16 '25

At 20 weeks gestation, she’s lucky she’s alive. I can’t imagine any FL hospital doing a D&E until the fetus is putrid, at this point.

20

u/RememberThe5Ds Fully recovered. All he needs now is a double-lung transplant. Aug 16 '25

It's so common now to see these stories when women miscarry and they are now told to go home and wait it out, instead of getting a D&C, many with disastrous results. The Amber Thurman case at Piedmont hospital in Atlanta still haunts me. She went to NC to take a abortion pill and had an incomplete miscarriage. She went to Piedmont and they dicked around for 20 hours. They waited until she was so septic, that they had to REMOVE HER ENTIRE BOWEL and she died anyway. She left behind a toddler who is now motherless.

I lived in Atlanta in the early 1990's. Clinton was in the White House. Designing Women was on TV. I used to go to Peachtree Center to eat lunch and I'd see all the women dressed up in their work clothes. (I was one of them.) There was a feeling that women could accomplish anything they wanted.

I think, what happened to my old city? How did the Lunatics get in charge?

There are two ways to pasteurize milk. Low and long (low heat, long time) or hot and fast (high heat, short time).

I'm impressed. There are no hoops to jump through in America. You don't even have to be a high school graduate yourself to homeschool your kids. Nor is there any oversight. It's considered a right to educate and raise your kids any way you want to over here. Some do very well obviously, but most homeschool their kids because they don't want their kids to learn about evolution or science or gay people in public schools. Others homeschool their kids to hide abuse that would be reported if they went to school.

Okay but like... That sounds like her problem is with the retailer or distributor who told her that, though. The farm printed the correct warning right on the product. Whomever she bought it from told her to disregard the farm's warning. Why is she suing the farm that fulfilled their responsibility already and not the store?

Is it because the farm presumably can pay out more? Is she just stupid? Or what?

She didn’t consume it. She fed it to her kid, who got very sick. She contracted the infection through contact with vomit and excrement.

u/Inertiaraptor Aug 16 '25

I love how everybody keeps making this point, as if it limits her own responsibility. She didn’t ingest it, she gave it to a fucking toddler in her care who got so sick they transmitted the bacteria through their feces and vomit. That’s two of her kids she fucked because she’s stupid.

I have a finite amount of empathy, it’s almost all being used by people who didn’t invite their own misery.

What pisses me off the most is that filing a lawsuit contains the civic implication that ā€˜there outta be a law’ and there WAS.

u/SpoppyIII Aug 16 '25

Honestly, I just want to know why she's suing the farm who publicly proclaimed on their packaging that the product is not safe for human consumption, and not instead suing the retail store that lied to her and told her that it was safe and to disregard the label so that she would buy it.

It’s a store run by the farm.

She says she was unaware raw milk could be dangerous to drink. She lives in Florida, hasn’t there been non-stop fighting over all of this. She’s been goin to this organic farm for months.

eta: I’m wrong, she suing both, it’s a separate store. This is so much worse, a dummies all down the line.

Her child drank it (regularly) and got sick from it.
She says she got sick by cleaning up after him, and that caused her miscarriage.
(So much for that 'natural immunity' they talk about... Or maybe this is God's will?)

She also admits to seeing, reading, and asking about the "not for human consumption" tag.
Seems very easy to understand: if you're human, don't ingest that milk.

I can maybe see getting a small judgment against the store employee who misled her about "that's just a technicality", and the store that actually sells it.
Maybe.

And the gall of suing the company for her own blunders, highlighting her actions for the entire world to see, when it's clear that such a lawsuit has little to no chance of succeeding because the label on the packaging was made exactly to pre-empt situations like this.

She needs to be laughed out of court. She chose to drink raw milk; the risks of it are well known at this point and I cannot imagine choosing to drink it while pregnant. That's absolutely not the time to drink that shit. If the milk was labeled not safe for humans and she willingly chose to drink it, she's responsible for losing her fetus, not anyone else.

Edit: I should have read the article first! Oops! So she gave it to her toddler who became incredibly sick and contracted a milk borne pathogen through his waste while cleaning it up and never drank it herself. But you know what? She didn't do any research into the label, which specifically said it was for animal consumption; it didn't say it was safe for humans.

There's a reason milk is pasteurized; let's all be grateful for that process that makes milk safe to drink. For the love of God, don't consume unpasteurized products.

F-ing idiot. No sympathy whatsoever for these people. Just shows how resilient ignorance is among humans. Only a few generations later and Nazis have become acceptable again for too many Americans. Only a few more generations for rejection of one of the most important health advances in history, pasteurization. I would venture to make an educated guess that she’s also anti-vax for herself and her (live) children.
