* To our knowledge, there have been no documented cases of food poisoning from beer <ref name="Bryan"></ref>. However: "It is well established that at least a dozen human pathogens can survive in fully fermented beer; moreover, sour-brewing (and home brewing in general) offers an additional opportunity for pathogens to gain a foothold or produce toxins which persist into the final product. Reality is that the source of most food poisonings is never established. A few industries (milk, meat, canning, etc) are under close scrutiny, and as such we have firm numbers for rates of food-borne illnesses from those industries. Neither commercial nor homebrewing is subject to that monitoring, so any cases of disease arising from contaminated products from either source would likely go unidentified." - Bryan of Sui Generis Blog on MTF <ref name="BryanMTF"></ref>. For more information on the potential for pathogens surviving in beer, see this [http://suigenerisbrewing.blogspot.com/2014/02/fact-or-fiction-can-pathogens-survive.html Sui Generis Blog article.].
* In the words of Bryan from [http://suigenerisbrewing.blogspot.ca/2014/02/fact-or-fiction-can-pathogens-survive.html Sui Generis Blog]: "If you have an immunodeficiency or are immunosuppressed: Obviously, don't take medical advice off the internet. Talk to your MD to see if you are at risk of infection - especially if you're condition/treatment increases your risk of fungal infections. If so, or if you are concerned, stick to beers that are fermented using commercial strains of Saccharomyces yeast." <ref name="Bryan"></ref>
