Milk Poisoning

So it turns out that my unwellness last Wednesday was stomach flu from drinking spoiled milk. How could I have managed to drink a cup of bad milk without even noticing you ask? It was becuase I used the milk in a strawberry banana smoothie I had made for breakfast. Right after I drank it I developed stomach pains, but I only figured it was attributed to my fast drinking. After I got to work I realized that I had a mild flu; my body was going from hot to cold and back to hot again. I really didn't believe that it could have been a result of my smoothie...how could it have turned ou so bad? But on Saturday morning when I opened the carton and smelled inside, the reek of sour milk said it all. And it wasn't even expired yet! I can't believe I actually ingested that, yuck.

And now boys and girls, the moral of the story is: do not buy Nielson milk! It goes bad, fast. I used to always get the bagged Nielson milk but when the milk always turned pasty and lumpy before I even got to opening the 3rd bag, I thought it was an issue with bagged milk. Then after switching to Natrel cartons I never had a problem with spoiled milk... until I got a Nielson carton because all the Natrels were gone. And look what happened.
