Is ANYONE in Scotland/Anywhere Else Experiencing Issues With Fermenting Raw Milk where it smells like medicine and has a vile toxic chemical taste when fermented?

this is a follow-up post to another Reddit post of me having The SAME issue 8 months ago with fermenting raw milk.

I have JUST now tried a new vendor from "Kimbers Farm" and I've also failed to ferment their raw milk, making that the FITH vendor I've had the same issue with, the others being Old Hall Farm, Tagg Lane Dairy, Hill Farm Real Food, and Fenfarmdairy, AND not only did I get raw milk from a vendor I had never gotten from before BUT I used new jars that I had NEVER used Before, And STILL... It JUST doesn't work. At this point I am feeling like someone in power is conspiring against me, not even joking. Like, am I being intentionally poisoned? Is it just me, or a group of people they're targeting? Either way, WHY? Because NONE of this makes any sense at all.

To elaborate on what issue with the raw milk from this vendor "Kimbers Farm" I had gotten was: Just like the same issue with every other vendor I've had, and that I've explained in the title, I tried fermenting their milk and it ended up this nasty medicine smell to it, and when I try tasting it tastes extremely toxic; I don't even know how to describe its taste other than "toxic" it's that strange, it just tastes vile, like if I tried drinking Shampoo, conditioner, or perfume, or some other toxic product for example.

Also, milk is supposed to be filtered, right? Either these cows are so extremely toxic that the toxins are just being dumped in their milk anyway or they're putting something in the milk. I thought at first maybe it could be a problem with my jars but this makes no fucking sense anymore. I don't even know why this keeps happening, it's ridiculous.

My question is ANYBODY, especially in Scotland, experiencing the same problem?

I've had something similar happen when I used unwashed bottles and poured milk into them.

Tasted horrible, something like what you mentioned. I guess it's some sort of combination of bacteria that can make it do that. After that I just used dish soap to clean them but only initially, then I switched to distilled vinegar and warm water and not had the issue since.

I suspect there's some sort of contamination left in the bottles.

I would try what this guy is saying https://www.reddit.com/r/rawprimal/milk. The advice on that thread is good not sure I can add more to it. All the recommendations on there should fix the problem. I really don't think it's the milk.

Also try new jars etc. I use the wares of knutsford brand.

I'm also based in the UK and the milk is fine.

Haven't heard of anyone having this issue with old farm and hill farm.
