Cases of rare tuberculosis strain linked to cheese

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.

But the germ can infect anyone who eats contaminated fresh cheeses sold by street vendors, smuggled across the Mexican border or produced by families who try to make a living selling so-called “bathtub cheese” made in home tubs and backyard troughs.

There are any number of things I could post here, but I haven't decided which one is most appropriate.

Cheese dip, anyone?

ScribePharisee · Jun 6, 2008

I got some of that shit from the store, thinking it was the white cheese dip you get in restaurants. The shit didn't taste like it at all and had a crappy texture. I won't worry about this because I survived a small taste of that batch and won't get the shit anymore.

This would be one of the things that isn't appropriate.

I would hope that doesn't make it this far North, since I love queso fresco. Not that I've been eating any of it lately.

When I think of bathtub cheese, I think of something else.

I don't wanna hear about the state of your bathtub!
