A tragically common cause of death before pasteurization was food poisoning in children who were being weaned and starting to drink cow's milk. Pasteurization is one of the greatest public health successes in the history of the world, and now it's protecting us from H5N1 bird flu 🧪

When I was a teenager I was super into George Orwell, and because he had lung disease very young, there are occasional mentions in his diaries of having to look for milk from cows that had been tested to be free from tuberculosis. So easy to forget how dangerous things were until recently.
