Contaminated milk

Hello,
the story of the contaminated milk is currently going around. I have been experiencing recurring seconds of dizziness for the past two days, and today I realized that I used the affected milk for my coffee in the mornings. Since yesterday evening, my symptoms have improved, and due to constipation, I was advised to take Laxoberal drops. Today, I no longer feel dizzy, and after "emptying", I feel better. Could I have flushed out these bacteria with it? Or do you think I should still get myself checked even if the dizziness is no longer present? I am feeling uncertain.
Thank you in advance.

Good evening,

Have you consumed milk with the label DE NW 508 G? Only this milk could be contaminated with bacteria.

However, these bacteria do not cause dizziness, but rather severe diarrhea. Therefore, your symptoms must have another cause.

It is possible to remain completely healthy even when using a contaminated batch, if the immune system successfully fights off the pathogen.

Warm regards, Dr. Gehring
