This is brilliant, but the only problem is you get rid of one thing and another thing pops up. If only a cure for cancer were to emerge, my Grandad died from cancer two weeks ago.

If I remember correctly the first foot and mouth outbreak was from imported meat.

The first ever foot and mouth outbreak in the UK was in 1956 in Gloucestershire, and the next in 1967, then in 1981 there was an outbreak on the Isle of Wight, then 20 years later it reappeared in 2001 (starting in Essex) and lasted 11 months.

Cause

The cause of the UK/2001 outbreak must remain speculation for the time being. Various hypotheses have been promoted, including imported meat, imported wild deer, eco-terrorism, viral escape from FMD research animals, and loss of viral material from laboratories, but as yet there is insufficient firm evidence to enable causation to be ascribed. This may be established by an appropriate inquiry.

The activity of the Pan-Asian 'O' type virus, which was the causal agent of the outbreak, had been noted for some time, and the UK Government had been warned by many FMD researchers as early as 1998 to expect an outbreak of this type.

As for the latest outbreak they were storing it in a lab (Institute of Animal Health) in Pirbright, Surrey and it was released by some damaged pipes which were known to of leaked for a good 4 years.

Foot and Mouth can also infect humans (thou with no lasting effects).

In the 60's a guy in the UK got it, thou many cases of human foot and mouth worldwide had been reported.

And in 1834 a guy got it from drinking infected milk.

In 1834, a physician called Hertwig apparently managed to self-infect with the illness by drinking milk from infected cows.

You got somethin' against Africans?

Nothing against Africans, I was just stating that Africa has more HIV/AIDS cases than the rest of the world. Which Africa has loads've land that isn't used (it's a big country), so anyone with AIDS can go there (nothing against the people).
