Default Mexico outbreak traced to 'manure lagoons' at pig farm

Mexico outbreak traced to 'manure lagoons' at pig farm

A village where residents have long complained about the smell and flies from a pig farm may be the source of the outbreak

Chris Ayres in Mexico City

The first known case of swine flu emerged a fortnight earlier than previously thought in a village where residents have long complained about the smell and flies from a nearby pig farm, it emerged last night.

The Mexican Government said it initially thought that the victim, Edgar Hernandez, 4, was suffering from ordinary influenza but laboratory testing has since shown that he had contracted swine flu. The boy went on to make a full recovery, although it is thought that at least 148 others in Mexico have died from the disease, and the number is expected to rise.

I believe that this is the outcome of factory farming - relating to pigs this time.

Has anyone here driven past a pig factory farm in a Cobra?
