EcoDairy Raw Milk and Campylobacter
Health officials have associated raw milk from Alexandre Family EcoDairy Farms, a Del Norte County, California dairy with an outbreak of Campylobacter . The Del Norte County Department of Public Health has confirmed 3 cases of Campylobacter infection and is awaiting the results for 12 additional cases.
One woman sickened in this outbreak has developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, a condition in which the body damages its own nerve cells, resulting in muscle weakness and, in some cases, paralysis and death.
Because selling raw milk is illegal in California, dairies sell shares in a cow and distribute raw milk from the cow to "owners." The dairies often have the "owners" sign contracts where the "owners" agree to hold the dairies harmless if someone is sickened by the raw milk. This does not necessarily preclude a suit for damages against the dairy. Contact our law firm regarding this issue.
What is Campylobacter?
Campylobacter is the name of a genus of a spiral-shaped bacteria found primarily in the intestines of animals. One type of Campylobacter bacteria, Campylobacter jejuni, causes an illness in humans called campylocateriosis. Humans contract campylocateriosis when they ingest contaminated animal feces. In recent years, raw milk has emerged as one of the foods that poses a risk for Campylobacter.
Campylobacteriosis (also called Campylobacter enteritis or gastroenteritis) is characterized by diarrheal illness, usually accompanied by fever, and abdominal cramps. Almost 99 percent of Campylobacteriosis is caused by Campylobacter jejuni. In rare cases, Campylobacter can cause Guillain-Barré syndrome, a servere illness that can lead to paralysis and death.
