It tends to come in outbreaks...normally in the Spring due to black flies and biting midges...it has been reported in North America but does not appear to be a common disease...
Can affect many birds...turkeys, waterfowl, chickens...
That's a problem? You should have just eaten chilli con carne....yum! yum! I am not squeamish unless it is my body being subjected to pain and the knife!
