So I finally managed raw milk to work for me. However I live in place that is notorious for tick density in it. The bite from these bugs can cause all sort of issues varying from Lyme disease to encephalitis.

All city dwellers cautions to boil milk however this old lady from village that I buy milk from says goats do not transmit diseases from ticks.

I prefer raw milks taste but I am not sure how to trust. Appearantly people in villages here drink raw milk in high quantities for decades with no issue but perhaps they developed immune system to guard against diseases?

Any raw (goat) milk experts could chime in?

Thanks

Virtually every single milk farmer drinks raw milk every day and you never hear about any of them getting sick. But when it comes to selling commercial pasteurized milk to customers, suddenly all these fear porn stories about raw milk start circulating. It's probably a marketing trick.

You can drink it raw only if you're 120% sure the animal has been vaccinated against the usual plagues affecting them.

If not, then you're playing Russian Roulette with your health/life. There are some pretty nasty diseases out there.

In any case, a few ml drops of colloidal silver in the raw milk wouldn't hurt in this situation.

dont the vaccines have side effects, which cause issues in you then? the amish farmers seem to not use any vaccines on their cows
organic milk actually allows vaccines, i was hoping the one i use doesnt vaccinate their cows or inject them with any vaccines at all
didnt people drink raw milk thousands of years with no disease
the zebu cows apparently dont allow bacterial entry into their teats, so you could probably drink it straight from the teat if you wanted, for maximum rawness/freshness.
