Earlier quoted context omitted.

Probably not. Unless you have ulcers or open wounds in your mouth/trachea, virus will be digested and destroyed in stomach acid.

So, you are saying that maybe if there was some sort of an injection.

What happens if I inject milk into my veins? Do I get high?

Does anyone know if consuming milk containing viral material confers any level of immunity?

Probably not. Unless you have ulcers or open wounds in your mouth/trachea, virus will be digested and destroyed in stomach acid.

>virus will be digested and destroyed in stomach acid

So how does food poisoning happen?

Maybe, just maybe, we should ease off on the factory farming...

and replace it with what?

Non factory farming. Prices will go up and this would be a good thing in addition to treating the animals in a more moral way.
