Symptoms of a Campylobacter Infection

Symptoms of a Campylobacter infection, called campylobacteriosis, usually develop within two to five days of exposure. They include Fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea that can be bloody. Some people can develop complications including reactive arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Raw Milk Laws Vary From State to State

Laws governing the sale of raw milk vary from state to state. In Washington, producers licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture can sell raw milk for further processing, human consumption, or animal feed. Between 2005 and 2024 there have been at least 11 raw milk outbreaks in Washington. Seven were caused by E. coli, three by Campylobacter, and two by Salmonella.
