(Harrisburg) --The number of confirmed cases of a bacterial infection potentially linked to raw milk from a Franklin County farm is now at 38. The state Health Department says 31 Pennsylvania residents, four people in Maryland, two West Virginia residents, and one person from New Jersey have become ill from Campylobacter bacteria. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramping, vomiting, and fever. All of them consumed raw milk from The Family Cow farm store in Chambersburg. Testing of raw milk samples is still underway at the Department of Agriculture. The farm voluntarily suspended production. Buyers are being told to discard any product purchased after January first.
