The number of people sickened with [Campylobacter infections linked to raw milk](http://www.about-campylobacter.com/?ref=foodsafetynews.com) in Alaska has now risen from 18 to 24, reported health officials this week, according to news channel [KTVA 11](http://www.ktva.com/home/outbound-xml-feeds/Two-Dozen-People-Ill-Two-Hospitalized-Due-to-Raw-Milk-from-Kasilof-Dairy-195185231.html?ref=foodsafetynews.com). Two patients have been hospitalized as a result of their infections, according to the [Alaska Section of Epidemiology](http://www.epi.alaska.gov/phan/AKPHAN%5F20130222%5FCampyOutbreakRawMilkUpdate.pdf?ref=foodsafetynews.com) (SOE). One of the victims is an infant who contracted a secondary infection, and did not drink the raw milk directly. The bacteria has been traced to a cow share program on the Kenai Peninsula. The milk was distributed to shareholders throughout the Kenai Peninsula, in Anchorage, and in Sitka, according to a February 22 press release from the SOE. The last Campylobacter outbreak traced to raw milk in Alaska was in 2011\. A total of 18 people were sickened from that milk, also produced by a cow share program.
