Dairy unwittingly sold raw milk from a rabies-infected cow
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The Rogers County Health Department is taking precautions after a cow at Claremore's Swan Brothers Dairy, which sells raw milk, was infected with rabies.
There are still concerns over rabies in raw, unpasteurized milk, sold earlier this month at Claremore's Swan Brothers Dairy.
Tests are under way to determine whether rabies was in the milk.
News on 6 reporter Emory Bryan says Harley Swan Jr.
has sold milk from the family dairy since the 1950's.
"Yes it tastes different, it tastes better."
Swan's sells only raw milk at the dairy near Claremore at 2688 North state Highway 88.
It's the only place in the state that sells milk before it is pasteurized - in part because the state doesn't allow raw milk to be sold anywhere other than a diary.
"It has all the natural vitamins and minerals and enzymes in it."
But it can also contain viruses that pasteurization would eliminate.
That wasn't a problem until one of the Swan's cows got rabies.
The milk from that cow was sold at the dairy from December 4th through the 19th.
Mary Beth Murray with the Rogers County Health Department: "It's never been documented to have caused rabies, however we wanted to take the precaution, because they don't know."
