In the video below, Brendan Flaherty, a Campylobacter lawyer in Minnesota, discusses Campylobacter food poisoning and a case our firm is litigating that involves raw milk. Our client consumed raw milk contaminated with Campylobacter and developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Our client remains paralyzed to this day.
Hartmann Dairy Farm Linked to Campylobacter and Criptosporidium Infections
Outbreaks of campylobacteriosis and criptosporidiosis in Minnesota have been linked to raw dairy products from the Hartmann Dairy Farm in Gibbon, MN, Sibley County. According to epidemiologists with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), three people are infected with Campylobacter jejuni, the bacterium that causes campylobacteriosis. In addition, four people are infected with Cryptosporidium parvum, a parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis, also known as "Crypto."
Laboratory tests found that the Cryptosporidium parasites and Campylobacter bacteria in most of the ill people were genetically identical to organisms found in animal and environmental samples taken on the Hartmann farm this past summer during an investigation of an E. coli outbreak linked to raw milk from the farm.
“We’re concerned that people are continuing to get sick after consuming products from this farm,” said Kirk Smith, the health department's Foodborne Diseases Unit supervisor. “We’re also concerned that some people who became ill were given the Hartmann dairy product by friends or neighbors who did not tell them the source.”
