    Default Livestock - Blue Tongue Disease

    It has been reported in the press that sheep have now got Blue Tongue disease.

    Sheep, cattle, goats and deer can be infected, but humans are not at risk.

    The disease is not contagious but often leads to death in sheep.

    Animals with it experience discomfort, with flu-like symptoms, and swelling and haemorrhaging in and around the mouth and nose.

    With the foot and mouth back in the headlines - it does make you wonder if meat is safe to eat.

    What do you think?

    They always come up with new diseases...

    if you believe everything of this stuff you can no more eat and drink anything, you are nowhere safe anymore, everything is risky... if that is how life supposed to be where you cannot do what you like to do it must result in sadness and depression and committing suicide :)

    i personally don`t care about all these disease stuff, i eat and drink what i like to, i go where ever i like to go and do whatever i like to do... and i am HEALTHY AND HAPPY living this way !!!

    What will they come up with next to cause more worry to people around the world and in particularly in the uk where all this commotion is going on.

    i do worry about certain foods like meat these days as we do tend to make our own dishes at home with different meats.

    at the moment it hasn't been made a big deal about in the news or in the shops so until it is deemed that the meat is unsafe to eat i will see be eating it.

    all they are doing is making more and more people panic alot about things that are not really important right now
