I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Do you work with birds? (of the feathered variety)





I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway.
But more, much more than this,
I did it side-ah-ways.

im a virologist (i study viruses basically) and i have studied the bird flu in great detail, at the moment humans cannot contract bird flu but if someone working in close proximaty with an infected bird was breathing in the virus from the bird then there could be the possibility that the viral structure could mutate to infect the human species, the worry at the moment is that farmers with both birds and pigs have a higher risk of mutation as pigs have both the recepters found in the human trachea (throat) and the bird recepters for the virus,possibly allowing the virus to use pigs as a mutation vector to pass into humans

hope this helps

LOL but handy to know.
Good job I'm married. No more chasing pigs for you younger ones now. You have been warned, especially when the beer gogles are on.
