Good article , but the process of distillation takes the alcohol on an average to 110 degrees in tequila before water is added to bring it to 80 proof in the bottle.

That would make sense, except my story is true.
"But Shigella bacteria, which cause dysentery and were found in a study to be responsible for 15 percent of traveler's afflictions in Mexico, are much more potent. Studies have shown that as few as 200 of the microscopic Shigella organisms are capable of making a person acutely ill. Far more than that can survive in ice; viable Shigella bacteria have been recovered from ice that had been frozen solid for two months. For that matter, hazardous numbers of this hardy microbe can survive a bath in straight tequila."
Any ice in our house was triple-filtered, so who knows? In any case, the problem went away when he switched tequila... maybe it was something in the brand of tequila.

A friend spent six months here and had the runs almost every day. Once he switched tequila brands, the problem went away.
EDIT: Seriously. We can only figure it was the water used in that particular brand.
The alcohol in tequila will not allow bacteria to live.

You can also get bruscellosis from eating rare meat. I had the one from beef.

It's Iikely she got worms from fecal matter that contaminated the milk. The bacterias and brucellosis also contaminate after it is out of the cow/animal. People get sick from store bought milk too. There are risks with all of it. We could probably go into eternity discussing this aspect of food.
I found a Cremeria in Chapala yesterday. I pasturized the Gal./4 Liters I bought and made some mozzarella. I am pleased with the results. I don't know if that Cremeria is the closest one to Ajijc. Has anyone seen others in the area?
I am still looking for a press and for cheese molds(plastic or steel). Some of that I may just have to get on my next trip NOB, I know.
I am wary of going to the field across from Walmart because I see those animals lying in the dirt all the time. There is no grass and they are in a pretty small space.
I appreciate all your thoughts and comments. I am learning my way around here and enjoying it!
Here is from the Mayo Clinic
"DefinitionBrucellosis is an infectious disease that spreads from animals to people — most often via unpasteurized milk, cheese and other dairy products. More rarely, the bacteria that cause brucellosis can spread through the air or through direct contact with infected animals.
Brucellosis symptoms include fever, joint pain and fatigue. The infection can usually be treated successfully with antibiotics. Treatment takes several weeks, however, and relapses are common.
While brucellosis is uncommon in the United States, the disease affects hundreds of thousands of people and animals worldwide. Avoiding unpasteurized dairy products and taking precautions when working with animals or in a laboratory can help prevent brucellosis."
I know, I have it now and have been fighting this horrible stuff for over a year now. It is extremely hard to cure and believe it or not it is around Lakeside. The United States and Canada inoculate their livestock. Mexico doesn't require it.

You missed the point bacteria can't live in that environment. I don't want to change the topic to tequila but if to give me your phone number by private message I will call you. I am in the us.
