MILK.
The greatest care is necessary in handling this food as it forms a perfect medium in which disease germs can multiply very rapidly should they gain an entrance. Home pasteurisation^ particularly in the hotter months, is always advisable. Milk has been responsible for an outbreak of enteric fever in one New Zealand city, thirtynine cases of scarlatina in another, and an outbreak of diphtheria in a third. Bovine tuberculosis can be contracted through milk. Cholera and dysentery have been caused by use of infected milk. Ice creams, etc., are liable to be infected, due to careless preparation and handling.
