Watch Out For Chicken Trucks
Posted November 28, 2008 by Shakti Sombrero
You can never guess what the next stupid health scare will be. Case in point: Stay Away from Chicken Trucks! They May Spread Poultry Pathogen.
Chicken trucks carrying live chickens from farms to slaughterhouses can be a source for disease-causing bacteria for the cars traveling behind them. Drivers and motorists stuck behind such a truck should "pass them quickly," study authors say.
And at the very end of the article...
Other researchers, however, said that getting sick that way was unlikely. None of the scientists who studied this problem got sick. Most healthy people, who are not so vulnerable and have a strong immune system, don’t suffer serious illness from these bacteria even if they are exposed to them in more conventional ways.
Don't mind that though! Just add this to the list of things you already should be worrying about every time you get into a car, including toxic tire dust particles, falling bowling balls, freeway snipers, road rage, and of course pollution, animals on the road and golf carts.
