    If Cleetus McNumbnuts becomes Patient Zero in another global pandemic, this time with a mortality rate of over 50%, it won’t be something to cheer about.

    Wear recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) when working directly or closely with sick or dead animals, animal feces, litter, raw milk, and other materials that might have the virus.

    Wash hands with soap and water, then put on PPE in this order:

    1. Fluid-resistant overalls.

    2. Waterproof apron, if needed for job task.

    3. NIOSH-approved respirator

    4. Properly-fitted unvented or indirectly-vented safety goggles or face shield

    5. Head cover or hair cover.

    6. Gloves

    7. Boots

    Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose after touching any contaminated material.

    Meanwhile, Cleetus has purchased his jug of active virus and is happily drinking it.

    EDIT: Probably more like Cleetus giving said jug to his kids.

    Among illnesses linked to unpasteurized milk that occurred from 2013 through 2018, 48% (325) were among people aged 0–19 years.
