Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Farmers worry dairy breed may be spreading illness to humans; scientists test for Crohn's By Philip Brasher / Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Could an obscure disease afflicting milk cows be making people sick? Scientists are not sure, but the dairy industry wants the government to eradicate the cattle illness. At least one in every five U.S. herds is believed to be infected with the livestock disease, called Johne's (pronounced YO-nees). Scientists are studying its possible link to Crohn's disease, a chronic bowel disease in humans for which there is no known cause or cure. http://detnews.com/2001/health/0105/30/a09-229107.htm Get personalized email addresses from Mail - only $35 a year! http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
