Important public health post by our local medial society!

Our community has recently experienced illnesses linked to the consumption of unpasteurized (“raw”) milk. Several children have become seriously ill after exposure to E. coli bacteria that can produce Shiga toxin — a toxin that may cause severe complications, including kidney failure.

Young children are especially vulnerable. In past local cases, infants required hospitalization, and at least one child required prolonged medical care due to kidney injury.

Raw milk can contain harmful bacteria, even when produced by well-intentioned and conscientious farmers. Cows naturally carry bacteria, and despite careful handling, contamination can occur. Pasteurization — the process of briefly heating milk to kill harmful organisms — was introduced in the late 1800s and dramatically reduced childhood deaths from foodborne illness. It remains one of the most effective and simple public health protections we have.

Families want the best and most natural options for their children. However, it is important to understand that “natural” does not always mean “safe,” especially for infants, young children, pregnant women, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

There are many safe and nutritious dairy and non-dairy options available that do not carry the same risk.

If you have questions about raw milk or other health concerns, we encourage you to speak with your physician or pediatrician. Your healthcare providers are here to listen, discuss your concerns, and help you make informed decisions based on credible medical evidence.

Community health policies affect all of us. If you have concerns about food safety laws in our area, you can respectfully share your thoughts with your elected officials. Find you representatives at wapp.capitol.tn.gov/Apps/fml/lookup. Civic engagement is an important part of maintaining public health protections.

Thank you for continuing to place your trust in the physicians and healthcare professionals of Hamilton County. Our shared goal is the health and safety of every child and family in our community.

How does a Mohs surgeon cut a turkey? Well this is the best way I’ve ever seen to cut and serve a turkey. Hope it helps you!

With all of the publicity surrounding Mohs surgery in the local news lately, we wrote a recent news article to better understand what it is (and isn't)!
