In a February 3 statement to customers, dairy owner Edwin Shank wrote on the Your Family Cow Website: “You trusted us to never do this. But … it was us. Food from our farm has made people sick.” ## Campylobacter food poisoning Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, which can be found in raw milk or other foods, causes an illness called campylobacteriosis. Diarrhea, which is often bloody, is a common symptom of Campylobacter infection. Other symptoms include fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and muscle pain. Some individuals who become ill with campylobacteriosis develop Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disease that causes acute generalized paralysis. **Campylobacter bactiera found in Your Family Cow milk bottles** Maryland health officials found the outbreak strain of Campylobacter bacteria in 2 unopened bottles of raw milk from the dairy. **Contact the Marler Clark Campylobacter Attorneys** If you or a family member became ill with a Campylobacter infection after consuming raw milk from Your Family Cow dairy and you’re interested in pursuing a legal claim, you can contact the Marler Clark Campylobacter lawyers for a free case evaluation.
