 Sorry to hear you had food poisoning from it. It’s true that you have to be careful, as with other raw foods like oysters, raw eggs, sushi, etc. to ensure freshness and health of the animal. Which is why it’s best to buy from a person you know and trust or to keep your own animals. 
 Since I already know that I get food poisoning, I cook 🔥 almost everything...I'm at the point where I can't even eat meat medium rare, it has to be fully cooked. I know some people who do not get poisoned from raw milk, but they have had symptoms such as very bad diarrhea. 
 tbh after I no longer had access to raw milk and switched to boiled milk, that’s when I became unable to drink milk at all. Going back to raw helped me. As with all things, and health especially, we each must make our own local decisions for our own health situations. But again, that’s why industrial scale is a problem for many people. One size doesn’t fit all.
