| TB Cheese |
| 2008-06-06 |
| A rare form of tuberculosis caused by illegal, unpasteurized dairy products, including the popular queso fresco cheese, is rising among Hispanic immigrants in Southern California and raising fears about a resurgence of a strain all but eradicated in the U.S. Cases of the Mycobacterium bovis strain of TB have increased in San Diego county, particularly among children who drink or eat dairy foods made from the milk of infected cattle, a study in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases shows. |

| #1 queso fresco is delicious - crumbly and tart on mexican food (which is served in heaven, I believe, mmmmmm)....but...."unpasteurized and 'street corner' anything"-dairy should be avoided. I get mine at Albertsons :-) |
