Worried that I might get sick now

Posted , 2 users are following.

I suffer with really bad health anxiety and today I just drank some milk that had flaky crust on it and I'm really worried if it's dangerous to swallow them? It's brand new milk I just opened up and I have until two weeks to drink it before it expires, I made strawberry milk and notice the white flakes inside my cup, one of my parents say it's safe and it's not anything bad, but I'm still worried since I never drank milk that had crust inside my drink or cereal bowl. Should I be worried about this or should I be safe?

    when milk gets filled into milk jugs at the factory, they many times overfill them. So some of the milk gets around the top under the cap and around sometimes the outside. The milk dries into flakes so you may get some inside the jug when you open the. You’re going to be OK. I see this all the time. Not harmful.
