I always try to dry my jerky in the sun. You have the added

disadvantage of insects landing on it, but I figure that the ultra

violet rays probably contribute significantly to sterilization.

I wouldn't drink raw milk with a ten foot straw with this disease.

I believe I read that rickettsias, q-fever, and lyme are shed in milk

(reality doesn't always support what my brain remembers, so do your own

research). In Oslers Web by , it is said that one

commonality in Bells patients in Lyndonville NY was drinking raw

goats milk. I lived in a small town in OR where people used to talk

about getting arthritis from the local raw milk. I knew a young guy

there who had terrible arthritis that used to drink that milk.

I'd stay away from raw meat too. I guess I might still eat my

thoroughly sun dried jerky or some ultra fresh deep sea fish (still not

without risk of parasites), but no beef sushi. Who knows what those

animals are carrying. There's no assurance but cooking.
