Foot and Mouth Disease Impacts Cattle and Humans
Foot and mouth disease is a contagious fever targeting mouth udders and feet of ruminants. In cattle losses per head range from 10 to 25 dollars even if the animal recovers, with blisters on the tongue and hooves causing drooling, lameness, and weakness. The illness lasts 10 to 12 days, reduces milk and meat quality, and spreads via saliva and contaminated ground. Humans and many warm blooded animals can be affected, typically through direct inoculation, with outbreaks common in Europe and Asia for generations.
