In March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A.

I’ve had occasion to buy raw milk to test making different cheeses (that hobby didn’t last long enough to produce much cheese, sadly). This would have been before Trump was a big thing in politics, but I swear every person I met there was a damn tea party nut.
