ASHVILLE, Tenn.- A new strain of Swine Flu is surfacing across
the United States, and infectious disease experts say it is
spreading at fairs. While no cases have been reported locally,
the Tennessee Department of Agriculture is putting exhibitors on
notice.
The CDC said in one week, the cases of the Swine Flu sharply
increased from 29 reported to 158.
The new strain they're seeing is H3N2, different from the H1N1
pandemic a few years ago. Fair exhibitors are being told to only
show healthy animals, and state and federal animal health
officials will be around to check.
Outbreaks have been reported in Ohio, Indiana and Hawaii. In
many instances, people complained of flu like symptoms. While no
one is being discouraged from attending a fair, they are
reminded to take a few small steps to make sure they don't get
sick.
"If you're going to be near the animals, make sure you don't eat
or drink near the animals. After leaving an animal area always
wash your hands. And it might just be a good idea not to let the
kids touch the animals," said Heather Orne TN Department of
Agriculture.
Monitoring the animals is ultimately the responsibility of fair
officials. At the Kentucky State Fair, veterinarians are
inspecting the pigs to see if they show any indication of being
ill. If there's concern, the pigs are tested, and if there's an
outbreak, the public will be notified.

agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.
