![Dysautonomia, Coxiella, and ME/CFS Coxiella burnetii (the bacterium that causes Q fever) naturally infects farm animals, such as goats, sheep, and cows. In humans, it is suggested that it could contribute to post-infectious syndromes such as ME/CFS. According to researchers based in Serbia, dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction) may play a role in chronic Coxiella-related disease.
Methods: 100 participants (35 with ME/CFS) who demonstrated specific IgM antibodies to Coxiella burnetii, plus 56 healthy age- and sex-matched controls, were evaluated for autonomic function.
Key finding: Dysautonomia was significantly more prevalent in the Coxiella group than in the control group. The researchers suggest "Coxiella burnetii infection may trigger persistent autonomic dysfunction, potentially contributing to the development of ME/CFS..."

Yesterday, I interviewed three dairy safety scientists and asked a few basic questions about raw and pasteurized milk.
Drinking unpasteurized milk is “a really stupid, bad idea,” said John Lucey, the director of the Center for Dairy Research at University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Q fever – an old zoonosis with a better diagnosis
Q fever or 'query fever' is a vaccine-preventable zoonosis first described in Australia in 19377. The causative agent8 for this disease is the obligate intracellular coccobacillus Coxiella burnetii. The bacterium has two structural versions called large cell and small cell variants (LCV and SCV) - and two antigenic forms, Phase I and Phase II. The SCV exhibits exceptional environmental resistance, surviving on wool, meat, and milk for periods ranging from one to 40 months after being shed from infected animals.
