- Abstract
The article summarizes the investigation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 cases associated with the farm in Cowlitz County, Washington in December 2005 and reinforces previous warnings about the health hazards of consuming raw milk. Among the persons who reported consuming raw milk from the farm, the relative risk for illness increased with the average number of cups of milk consumed daily. Inspectors from the Washington State Department of Agriculture noted improper procedures for handling fresh milk at the farm.
