H1N1 Found In More Pigs

The H1N1 virus has been found in a commercial swine herd in Indiana.U.S. Department of Agriculture says this is the first such discovery in the country in a commercial herd.The Indiana Board of Animal Health would not disclose where the facility was, or how many people and pigs became ill.But they said four samples came back positive for the virus.Ag experts say the virus does not reside in the animal's muscle tissue, so it cannot be contracted if it's eaten.Dr. Bret Marsh says, 'This particular virus, it runs its course in the pig, and once they've recovered, they're safe to consume.'The USDA says the pigs as well as their caretakers have fully recovered.Six pigs at the Minnesota State Fair tested positive for H1 N1 last month.
