"Investigating"? I think I know what caused this. Just go ahead and send the Nobel in medicine to my PO box, thanks. [View all]

Idaho Public Health officials are investigating two outbreaks likely associated with raw milk

The Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) is working with local and state partners to investigate a recent increase in illnesses after consumption of unpasteurized (raw) milk. Since May 19, 2026, nearly 60 people have been identified who became ill after consuming raw milk. At least 45 of those people tested positive for campylobacteriosis, a bacterial infection, although not everyone who is sick was tested. Investigation and interviews of people reported as ill are ongoing and additional illness may be identified.

The Idaho Division of Public Health is collaborating with Panhandle District Health, Southwest District Health, Central District Health, Southeastern Idaho Public Health, South Central Public Health, and Eastern Idaho Public Health on the investigation.

Most people who were sick reported consuming raw milk from two different milking operations – one in northern Idaho and one in southern Idaho.
