A glass of milk from factory farms got about 130 million pus cells… and antibiotics (banned in Europe) that wreck our immune system, hormones banned in Europe that cause cancer, etc….  Even organic milk has some of that stuff. 🙂

http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/08/how-much-pus-is-there-in-milk/ explains that pus is not somatic cells, but neutrophils (white blood cells) mixed with dead bacteria.  According to the USDA, 1 in 6 dairy cows in the United States suffers from clinical mastitis, which is responsible for 1 in 6 dairy cow deaths on U.S. dairy farms. This level of disease is reflected in the concentration of somatic cells in the American milk supply. Somatic cell counts greater than a million per teaspoon are abnormal and “almost always” caused by mastitis. When a cow is infected, greater than 90% of the somatic cells in her milk are neutrophils, the inflammatory immune cells that form pus. The average somatic cell count in U.S. milk per spoonful is 1,120,000.

Pus is found in regions of bacterial infection and it’s made of neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils (3 types of white blood cells) and dead bacteria, as well as inflamatory exudate.
