There a large number of diseases that are transmittable from farm animals to man. Anthrax, bruculosis, tuberculosis, leptospiris, a half dozen parasites and flu often passes from birds to pigs to man just to name a few. E. coli O157 is not normally transmitted to people unless they are raised in isolation from livestock a practice that has only been common in the last 50 years. Any one that is around livestock on a regular basis does not catch it. If they are able to build resistance. Maybe it used to be part of infant mortality. I have never heard of any cases of infant mortality from diseases from animals. Just because you haven't heard doesn't mean it doesn't happen In the 50 years we have been feeding animal anibiodics infant mortalty has decreased substantialy. These are almost certainly unconnected statistics (ie one is not relevant to the other). Bruce -------------------------------------------------------------------- Oook !
