Camel milk gives two people rare illness
Two Singaporean came back after holidaying in Saudi Arabia with an exotic souvenir they had not bargained for – a rare illness called brucellosis.
Caused by a type of bacteria – brucella – it landed them in hospital for three weeks with a fever that just would not go away, the Ministry of Health disclosed yesterday.
The cause of their illness has been identified as the fresh, but brucella-laced, camel milk they drank while on separate tours after they had performed the haj or Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca last December.

You spent your hard-earned money for a relaxing oversea trip, and come back with something you never asked for. Who is at fault? For picking the country to explore, or for drinking the milk. Apparently, no one is at fault.
Instead of feeling refreshed, you feel more stressed and financial tied down; do you feel like you Spend money to pay more money? Worth it?
I also have it and got it from a tick or cleaning infected deer meat. It is not fun and has cost me plenty. The cost keeps going on. Good luck.
