        "alt": "A screenshot from a Mother Jones article about McAfee's dairy recall. The article reads: \"McGonigle-Martin says she bought raw milk for Chris just three times, but the third bottle was contaminated with E. coli. Soon, he was very sick, developing, as a subsequent lawsuit detailed, a blood and kidney condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome. Today, McGonigle-Martin, a retired school counselor who co-chairs the board of an organization called Stop Foodborne Illness, has an in-depth PowerPoint presentation that she shows to journalists and advocacy organizations to underscore how food poisoning is, she says, 'not just vomiting and diarrhea.'It begins with photos of Chris on a ventilator in a pediatric intensive care unit, his blond hair matted and hands tied to the bed so he couldn’t pull a nasogastric tube out of his throat. For five days, “he was on death’s door,” his mother says. He was given Versed and morphine to calm him and keep him from ripping out the tubes; every time he woke, his eyes would widen into a panic as he tore at them. 'He was also suffering from acute pancreatitis,' McGonigle-Martin says, “and couldn’t eat for two months.' Chris was in the hospital at the same time as an 11-year-old girl sickened by the same outbreak; McAfee, McGonigle-Martin recalls, took a small private plane to visit both kids’ families. 'He flew down to the hospital and waited outside the pediatric intensive care unit to talk,' McGonigle-Martin says. When she and McAfee met in the hallways, 'I hugged him and said, ‘I can’t imagine how worried you are about all this.’' (McAfee says that he made a visit in his Volvo and that Chris was out of the ICU when he arrived.)\"",
