    In recent years, we have often seen scenes like this in some streets and around the community: someone is pulling a cow or a goat and selling cow/goat milk.
    .
    .
    there are often long lines behind them, because they all feel that Fresh milk is pure natural and healthier
    .
     
    However, recently, in Xi'an, Shaanxi, a 2-year-old child had a fever for 4 days and developed a rash for 3 days after drinking goat milk on the street, and was finally diagnosed as "bru disease"
    .
     
    What exactly is brucellosis? Why can't I drink raw milk? What pit is buried in the "pure nature" we like?
     
    1.
    Why can I get brucellosis when drinking freshly milked goat's milk?
     
    Brucellosis is short for Brucellosis, which is an infectious disease caused by Brucella invading the human body
    .
     
    Brucella is generally parasitic in animals such as cattle, sheep, dogs, pigs, etc.
    Therefore, sick sheep, cattle and other animals are the main source of infection of brucellosis
    .
    Humans are also easily infected by these infected animals
    .

     
    The reason why drinking raw goat's milk can transmit brucellosis is related to its non-sterilization
    .
    "Raw milk" is usually also called raw milk, which refers to raw milk that has not undergone sterilization and other processes
    .

    Because "raw milk" is rich in nutrients, in the environment, there are a large number of bacteria eyeing it
    .
    For example, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, fungi, etc.
    , as well as zoonotic pathogens such as Brucella and Mycobacterium tuberculosis from animals, may contaminate our raw milk
    .

     
    Therefore, if the "raw milk" is not fully sterilized and you drink it directly, it is easy to cause the spread of zoonotic diseases.
    Brucellosis is a very common one
    .
     
    If cows and sheep are infected with Brucella and we drink this milk again, we may get brucellosis
    .
     
    Reports from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization pointed out that the main ways people are infected with Brucella are still unpasteurized dairy products and uncooked meat products

    2.
    How harmful is brucellosis?
     
    Brucellosis has been infected in more than 160 areas in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and 5 million people worldwide are infected with brucellosis every year
    .
     
    The incubation period of brucellosis is generally five to sixty days, but it can be as long as several months
    .
     
    One of the major difficulties in treating brucellosis is that there is no specific disease for brucellosis
    .
     
    Brucellosis usually has many symptoms similar to influenza
    .
    Once a person is infected, they will have symptoms such as fever, sweating, headache, and back pain for a long time, much like a cold.
    In severe cases, joint pain and hepatosplenomegaly will also occur
    .
    Therefore, it is often misdiagnosed as a cold, and being misdiagnosed will delay the condition
    .
     
    However, if a person is infected with brucellosis, if it is not treated in time, it is easy to change from acute to intractable chronic brucellosis, causing damage to multiple organ systems throughout the body, repeated attacks, and may even last for several years and never heal for life.
    Until becoming disabled
    .
    If pregnant women are infected with brucellosis, they may also cause miscarriage and stillbirth
    .

    3.
    The nutrition of freshly expressed cow/goat's milk will not be better.
    You risked your life to drink freshly expressed cow/goat's milk, just for its pure and natural nature, you will feel that the raw milk has not been processed, and the nutritional value is even better.
    High
    .
     
    However, after comparing raw milk and pasteurized milk, scientists found that the nutritional value of "raw milk" is not better.
    Compared with pasteurized pure milk, both of them are in terms of nutrition and human health functions.
    There is no significant difference
    .
     
    Extended reading: Room temperature milk VS fresh milk, which kind of milk is better for children?
     
     
    4.
    Milk must be heated and sterilized to be safe to drink
     
    In fact, cow (goat) milk that has just been squeezed out cannot be drunk directly, it needs to be sterilized before it can be drunk
    .
    The milk we sell now needs to be sterilized,
     
     
    There are usually three sterilization methods:
     
    Low-temperature pasteurization, the milk is heated to 63℃ -65℃ and maintained for 30 minutes;
     
    Picture from freepik.
    com
     
    High temperature short-time pasteurization, sterilization conditions are 72-76°C for 15 seconds (or 80-85°C for 10-15 seconds); ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization method, sterilization at 132°C for 2-4 seconds
    .
    The control of temperature and time varies slightly among various manufacturers
    .

      
    The first two methods are called pasteurization, and the milk produced is pasteurized milk, commonly known as "fresh milk"
    .
    The third method is called ultra-high temperature sterilization (UHT) for short, and is often referred to as "normal temperature milk"
    .
    In general, the "fresh milk" that is squeezed has not undergone any disinfection treatment, and there is a great food safety hazard.
    It is recommended that you do not drink it directly
    .
     
    5.
    The three words "pure natural" may be toxic
     
    The reason why raw milk is so popular is that the three words "natural" make people feel healthier
    .
    However, the three words "purely natural" are actually "toxic", and many foods are harming people under this guise
    .

     
    (1) Soil oil extraction
     
    Many people have to bring a few pots when they go to the countryside
    .
    In fact, the "earth" of soil oil extraction refers to the traditional local method of manual oil refining
    .

     
    Picture from freepik.
    com
     
    However, the biggest problem with traditional methods is that the equipment and technology are backward, and it is usually impossible to have matching crude oil refining equipment, and many impurities cannot be removed
    .
     
    For example: water, mechanical impurities (dust), colloids (phospholipids, proteins, sugars), free fatty acids, pigments, hydrocarbons, metal compounds, and may also contain toxic heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury and residual pesticides
    .
     
    Because these unrefined crude oils have so many health risks, China's food safety standards stipulate that unrefined vegetable crude oil cannot be eaten directly, and can only be used as a raw material for refined oil
    .
     
    Don't be superstitious about oil extraction, you must buy branded cooking oil in regular supermarkets or online stores
    .
     
    (2) Mountain spring water
     
    Mountain spring water, because it comes from nature and is said to be rich in mineral salts such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, strontium, metasilicic acid, etc.
    , is also popular among people
    .
    However, mountain spring water may actually have safety hazards
    .
     
    Although mountain spring water does contain some minerals, it is a bit difficult for you to use it to supplement minerals
    .
     
    Take the most common calcium, the recommended daily intake is 800 mg
    .
    The calcium content of mountain spring water is only 20 milligrams per liter.
    Drinking it to supplement calcium means that you have to drink 40 liters of water a day to make up
    .
    If it is purely to replenish minerals, it is better to eat vegetables
    .
    Moreover, the mountain spring water has not been disinfected, it is easy to contain a lot of bacteria and impurities, if it is directly consumed, it is easy to cause food poisoning
    .
     
     
    (3) Wild vegetables
     
    Eating wild vegetables has also become a trend, but it is actually perilous
    .
    In fact, many wild vegetables are poisonous.
    They may also have a variety of alkaloids, saponins and other plant toxins, especially some uncommon wild vegetables.
    Blindly buying and eating may bring greater safety risks
    .

     
    A few years ago, the media reported that a family of three in Changping, Beijing, the hostess grows vegetables by herself, but she doesn’t know what variety she grows.
    As a result, she grows a wild vegetable commonly known as "sweet eggplant" (scientific name "longkui").
    , And let a family of three poisoned and admitted to the hospital
    .
     
    (4) Homemade wine
     
    Although self-brewed wine is trendy, it is also risky
    .
    Its biggest problem is the possible contamination by bacteria
    .

     
    The requirements for sterilization of industrially produced wine during the brewing process are very strict
    .
     
    The sterilization conditions of home-brewed wine are difficult to control, and it is possible to mix with bacteria, which will destroy the normal fermentation of the wine and affect the taste of the wine
    .
     
    If the sterilization is not complete, bacteria are likely to grow inside, thereby producing toxic substances
    .
     
    Self-brewed wine is often also affected by technical conditions and knowledge level, and faces a higher risk of methanol, which is converted into formaldehyde, which is highly toxic in the human body
    .
    Therefore, don't be superstitious about home-brewed wine
    .
