Yes...I'm not going to drink it anymore. I live in a state where raw milk is not legal. I used to get wonderful raw goat milk from a highly reputable source. The goats don't produce much in the winter, so for the past few months I would get cow milk through a collective that would drive one state over, where it is legal, to bring back for a group of folks....also a very reputable source. The only problem is that they only make the trip every two weeks, so I was wanting more. I am nursing a toddler still, so craving the extra protein, I have supplemented with some raw cow milk that a friend referred me to. It is my own fault and I take complete responsibility, but I did not question the farmer and his practices or go visit the farm. I just ordered two gallons from the collective and will just cut down on my milk consumption until the goats start producing more again. I was craving a quart a day, easily....that's why I supplemented with this other farmer's milk. My toddler drank some of the brown specked milk too....he seems to be fine, I'm just more worried about the baby in vitro. I was perusing on the internet and read some horror stories about stillbirths and miscarriages caused by listeria. They say that there may not be any symptoms or very mild flu-like symptoms that may not appear for weeks. I drank raw milk through my first two pregnancies, but really screwed up by not checking out this farmer first.
