blackbearhunterbrucellosis and pseudorabies
Can brucellosis and pseudorabies make you bad sick from hogs?anyone ever caught them before?Does it make you feel like you have the flu and you have a fever?
Also do some hogs exhibt mad/charge/killer behavior,especially great big mean loner ones?Or hogs that have been wounded or just like to fight?
From:
California"The (pseudorabies) virus has never been shown to be contagious to humans."
and from:
Oklahoma"Swine brucellosis is contagious to humans and symptoms may range from severe flu-like symptoms to arthritis or meningitis. There is no cure for this disease in animals while humans can be treated with antibiotics in an attempt to clear the infection."
The second reference is a particularly good one.
