Libya is not an exception where there is a high demand for consumption of both milk and dairy products. It is not unusual that Libyans purchase and consume not only raw cow’s milk but also goat and sheep milk. Traditionally, camel’s milk is consumed raw neither pasteurized nor boiled. Locally made dairy products, such as soft cheeses, fermented milk, and ice cream are manufactured at small-scale dairy parlors, where hygienic measures neither applied nor enforced. Few studies on EHEC O157:H7 have been published from Libya as that linked to diarrhea in children from Libya  and dairy cattle in Tripoli .
