TurtleMama Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Here's an article talking about an outbreak of Bird Flu in Mexico.... http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/02/us-mexico-birdflu-idUSBRE8611C220120702 It is H7N3, not H5N1. Apparently, it is not a threat to humans. Still, it is concerning that it's so close to home.... Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for the alert. I am, at this moment, self righteously, roasting a small beef roast and plan to marinade some pork ribs for July 4th. It's good that Mexico is trying to stay on top of things. Even though I buy commercial chicken for consumption since I am not outfitted to raise my own, I do see its all raised in the US, but its definitely worth keeping an eye on for those who do raise their own and where vendors sell their chickens from. Good Heads up! Quote Link to comment
TurtleMama Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Go Arby! We're having turkey burgers and turkey hot dogs....we don't eat beef...so I guess in the event of a poultry cull, we'd be in BIG trouble! LOL Quote Link to comment
