Keep Those Humans Away From My Pigs!
The newest twist in the so called Swine-Flu epidemic is farmers wanting to keep humans away from their pigs! Yes, you read it right. Farmers from all over want to keep the pig population clean of the Swine Flu virus, and that means keeping their pigs away from those nasty flu carrying humans.
Hog Farmer Ron Suther of Kansas City has this to say, “If a person is sick, we don’t want you coming anywhere on the farm,” after all the reasoning is clear, it’s humans that are mostly infected and affected by the swine flu, not pigs. At least not yet. Ron Suther is banning humans from his property, and the ones that need to be there, have to detail their travels and any family sickness.
He said that the biggest concern is that your herd could somehow contract this illness from humans. There are no pig anti virals, if the pig population gets the flu, the farmer may have a catastrophe on their hands. Well, in a sense they already do. With the flu being called the swine flu, it devasted the pork industry already. Countries all over the world have banned intake of pork, especially from countries, and states that have had any human connection to the virus.
Unfortunately, Egypt took the stance to eradicate all pigs in the country. This was done with no knowledge of a single swine flu infection at all in the country. Even before this recent problem, pork producers were having a hard time because of higher grain prices and lower demand.
The World Health Organization now calls the flu, the H1N1 solely, and wants everyone else to follow suit and avoid calling it the swine flu. I think the damage has been done in that department however. The best that can happen is for people to realize that there is NO DANGER OF EATING PORK at all. In fact, right now is the time to buy pork, as prices are really low all around.
Take these flu precautions
The flu seems to be lessening it vigor, but it is still good to take precautions:
1). Stay home as much as possible
2). Stay out of crowds
3). If you are sick stay home
4). Wash your hand very frequently when out of the house
5). Avoid people that are coughing and sneezing
6). If you go to the hospital make sure you are sick, and call ahead, so they can protect others.
7). Usually this flu will come with a fever over 100.5
8). When going into a building that has a left and right door to walk thru, take the left door.
9). Grab the bottom of a large handled door rather than the top, where most people grab it.
