Never,never drink raw milk that has not been properly tested. Pasteurisation was developed for a reason! bsky.app/profile/prop...
WATCH: When her son Chris was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill. Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues. This is their story.

ee.co.uk is my UK broadband/mobile phone provider, having taken over BT's provision, and has simply an appalling website to interact with. Whoever would have thought I would miss BT?
