Can the bacteria from drinking unpasteurized milk be passed on to others?
Yes. If someone becomes sick from drinking raw milk, this infection can be passed from person-to-person by hand-to-mouth contact. This fecal-oral spread from person-to-person happens especially when someone has diarrhea and is not washing their hands properly or maintaining good hygiene. Disease can also be spread to those who are caring for a person who is ill with diarrhea.
