Raw milk blamed in outbreak that sickened 38

MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin health officials say 38 people associated with the Durand High School football team became sick in an outbreak caused by raw milk served at a potluck dinner.

The Department of Health Services says tests confirmed that 26 illnesses were caused by Campylobacter, a harmful bacterial sometimes found in unpasteurized milk.

Several people who attended the pre-game potluck Sept. 18 became seriously ill, and the outbreak forced the cancellation of a Sept. 27 game.
