The cause: Consumption of raw milk contaminated with Campylobacter jejuni
A settlement has been reached in a case involving Alexandre Family EcoDairy
Farms and a local woman who became paralyzed by a rare neurological disorder after drinking Campylobacter jejuni contaminated raw milk.
No lawsuit was filed in the matter, and instead it was resolved through a claim with the Fort Dick dairy’s insurance provider.
As part of the agreement reached late last week, the amount of the settlement is confidential and neither party is allowed to talk about the specifics.
“Clearly everyone wants to get this behind them,” Marler said. “The Tardiffs and Mari have a lot of work to do for the rest of their lives and the last thing they need is litigation.”
Mari Tardiff became ill in June 2008 after drinking raw milk from the dairy that was contaminated with Campylobacter jejuni, a common food-born pathogen found in domesticated and wild animals.
As a result, the 54-year-old public health nurse developed a form of Guillain-Barré syndrome that paralyzed her to a point where she was placed on a ventilator for nearly three months.
State and local public health officials eventually found 14 other people in Del Norte County who had consumed raw milk from the organic dairy and got sick between May and June of 2008. An additional person who was also ill during that time denied drinking raw milk, but worked closely with the cows at the dairy.
Tardiff is still recovering from Guillain-Barré. She cannot walk on her own and relies on two caregivers to assist her. Her attorney said that her medical bills to date have exceeded $1

Aquella imagen de campo en el que se bebía "leche recién ordeñada" era un asunto relacionado con salud, evidentemente resulta falso. Esto es un claro ejemplo de las graves consecuencias de ello.
