Indeed, some things are gross, others beautiful. Some are both.

I was surprised at what I found in the milk though, especially operating under the false assumption that pasteurization "kills all the germs". It also seems to be the most active substance I've seen to date.

erm, am I allowed to tell you that sometimes I ask some (very) good friends for some fecal samples, and other bodily fluids, etc, to look at under my microscopes????? Does that make a pervert of me you think, or just a very weird person?

I think your missing the point, we need the germs, unless you have come up with some kind of way to eliminate germs in the entire universe for all eternity. Otherwise we need them to become immune to them. Go ahead and put distance between yourself and this kind of stuff, but its just going to end up with you sick

Are you serious DDDD

Some 60-80% of your body mass is made out of bacteria. Better take some hardcore antibiotics then if you want to get a good diet going on

The germ-o-phobic attitude that has been going on for some years is disturbing. I remember some 5-10 years back when i was a kid and the antibacterial dish washing soaps came to market. They were quickly dismissed (at least over here). So now start to dismiss MILK? The stuff babies of many species rely on because they need to grow and get strong ?!

And you say it is harmful for an adult, when a kids life depends on it? Come on!

Op, and all posters sofar:
These are not germs, these are the tiny fatty globules in the milk.
The movement you see is not germ movement, it is the Brownian movement and just temperature dependent.

I had considered that this could be Brownian motion of particles, however, a similar sample of heavy whipping cream (with much higher fat content) did not reveal similar behavior from its fats. Either way, milk seems more unappetizing to me.

Heavy whipping cream is Heavy and as such the Brownian movement will not be so visible as in milk that is a thin fluid with emulgated small vesicles of fat in it.
I did research on cow and pigs manure for more than a year, with a lot of microscopic work in that period.
I can assure you that is really lively!!
