What is the cause of milk sickness?

What will be an ideal response?


White snakeroot was found in association with newly cleared forests and woodlands, and free-ranging livestock frequently consumed it. At this time, it was common for farm families to own a few cows for milk production and cheese making. Humans who drank the milk or ate the meat from affected cattle developed milk sickness. The fat-soluble compound, tremetol, that was passed through to the milk caused weakness, tremors, delirium, and death at high doses for both humans and livestock.
