> Yes, milk breeds bacteria like crazy. It’s exponential growth too so it’s bound to go bad and when it does, it happens quickly. But if you had to drink fresh milk that was still warm, you’d be fine. Mostly. Reading the comments here is wild to me. I drank raw, cold milk for well over a decade in my childhood as my father had cows. Although this was in Finland, I would probably not dare drink raw milk elsewhere. The cows were milked with machines that would immediately transport the milk to a tank that would keep it cold and constantly stir it. Even without constant stirring the milk would last for a day or two in the fridge. You would know from the smell if it had gone bad.
