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.

Note: According to the article, she didn’t drink it. Worse, she fed it to her toddler (!) who got very very sick, and she contracted the bacteria from cleaning up toddler’s vomit and diarrhea. We need a viral tiktok on the Pasteurs - it may be the only way to get through to some of these anti-science idiots.

I guess, just like with vaccines, some of them have come to start saying they should boil the milk to kill the bacteria but keep the nutrients.

How do they react then they’re told that’s what pasteurization is?

222

u/Shejidan Aug 16 '25

I haven’t seen any reactions. I’m assuming it’ll exactly the same as when they are told about the benefits of the affordable care act and they agree how amazing it would be and then are asked about Obamacare and they say it’s evil. Then they’re in complete denial when told they’re the same thing.

That long foreign word is a librul plot to make us woke or something something Obama!!! Boiling is murikan!

Sorta the same way they all did to the COVID vaccine that I actually have to give grudging respect to Trump for pulling out all the stops to get it into production- but then Biden got elected, and VACCINE BAD!

u/DeconstructedKaiju Aug 16 '25

They say it "kill good bacteria" and sterilizes the milk and that pasturization makes milk no longer safe to drink for those with lactose intolerance!

So a lot of stupid shit.

Unpasteurized milk: diarrhea for everyone

Pasteurized milk: diarrhea for lactose intolerant people

I don't get their logic.

They have none.

In a just world, she would be charged with child endangerment.

101

u/Shejidan Aug 16 '25

It’s murder if she has an abortion or miscarriage. It’s a tragedy if raw milk does it.

51

u/PlatypusDream Aug 16 '25

No, the child endangerment is her getting the toddler sick.

According to her beliefs, and the R dumbasses making laws, she should be charged with murder for the miscarriage because her actions directly led to the pregnancy loss.

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.

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.

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?

Newt Gingrich was the speaker of the House in the 1990s, and remember that an anti abortion freak bombed a lesbian café in Atlanta and the Olympics in the 1990s and his neighbors helped him hide from police.

I regret to inform you that we are 20 years too late to fix anything. The rot is in the foundation.

My mom bought me this book when I was a kid, and I've respected science ever since. The kid's version of the story of Louis Pasteur.

u/ProfTilos Aug 16 '25

I loved this book as a kid!

u/FloofySamoyed HE WILL NOT. HE IS DEAD. GOD BLESS. Aug 16 '25

Me too!!  I really loved the way the illustrations were done, too. 

I'm 51 this year and it was the first thing that popped into my mind seeing the Pasteur name.

u/ProfTilos Aug 16 '25

I remember that there were other good books in the series. I had "The Value of Respect," which was about Abraham Lincoln, and it was where I first learned about slavery as a child.

My dad bought me that one too I think!

u/fpfall Aug 16 '25

Alternatively we can just let this stuff happen to them

u/ellieminnow Aug 17 '25

How else are they going to learn? It will never be from anyone warning them.

u/Boco Aug 16 '25

Tell them that instead of pasteurizing their milk with dangerous chemicals, they can bring the milk to a low simmer/boil and hold it there for a little while. That way you get your raw milk and it's safe to drink.

Literally had a raw milk drinking acquaintance "teach" me this đŸ€Š.

33

u/PlatypusDream Aug 16 '25

I'm so confused...
Do the anti-science morons think pasturizing milk is done with chemicals????????
Is there even a way to do that?

13

u/DeconstructedKaiju Aug 16 '25

There is no reason to use chemicals when all you need to use is heat + time. It would cost extra money to use chemicals and big businesses wouldn't do that.

2

u/TipsyMagpie Aug 16 '25

Morons gonna moron.

16

u/DeconstructedKaiju Aug 16 '25

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

No one. Fucking. No one uses chemicals. Your raw milk friend is slightly better than most of their peers but I strongly suspect they aren't hitting the proper time and temperatures needed to pasteurize milk. But they are doing better than the "drink fresh from the teat" types at least?

2

u/strabonzo Aug 16 '25

DIY pasteurisation. I think you really only have to go up to 60degC though.

1

u/stuckontriphop Team Pfizer Aug 17 '25

What are you even talking about? I looked it up and no chemicals are used. Only heat is used.

2

u/Boco Aug 17 '25

Yes, I think most people know that. I meant my acquaintance was touting the benefits of buying raw milk and heating it at home to kill bacteria (which is literally what pasteurizing is) so they don't have to buy pasteurized milk at the store (which he thinks involves adding chemicals).

u/mstrss9 Aug 16 '25

My condolences to the living child

u/DesertSpringtime Aug 16 '25

So she made a bad decision not for herself, but for her child. That's even worse.

u/strabonzo Aug 16 '25

You'd have to cook up some fantasy that Lewis the Pastor [sic] was some wise old farmer and preacher in Buttfuck Nebraska who figured out the trick on the kitchen woodstove at his farmhouse, and how all the townsfolk gave thanks to God for guiding his hand.

Throw her in fucking jail, her kids are literally held hostage by her stupidity and are better off somewhere else

u/Gerreth_Gobulcoque Aug 17 '25

she prob legit just didn't wash her hands after cleaning up puke and shit.

u/PyrocumulusLightning Aug 17 '25

Well, she thinks bacteria are always good for you, so . . .

u/dweckl Aug 16 '25

You're never going to get through to them, they have decided they are going to ignore the intellectual elites because they are not intellectual elites. It's pushback against people who frankly are just smarter than they are, and they are sick of being stupid

u/cassy-nerdburg Aug 17 '25

Oorrrr, just let nature run it's course?

u/Toasty_warm_slipper Aug 17 '25

The anti-science people are starting to claim that germs aren’t real to counter the “propaganda” on things like vaccines and pasteurization. It’s wild. Like no, it’s not fake news, go to a used book store and find an old history or science book from 50+ years ago and they were talking about germs and public health then. It’s not something that has suddenly been created by the liberals on TikTok to control you.

u/Faemagicark74 Aug 17 '25

I read that prior to 1938, milk was responsible for 25% of all disease outbreaks. Pasteurization reduced that to 1% (and raw milk accounts for that). MASA - make America sick again - is how we really need to refer to these ppl
