In other news, one of my children, my husband and myself have now come down with and recovered from campylobacteriosis. Fun times.
Its actually a really interesting bacteria (if you're the kind of person who finds bacteria really interesting). I had a few brooders of chicks come down with diarrhea and I didn't know why- now I do. If you own chickens and you've ever come down with a fever, nausea and liquid diarrhea and thought that something must be going around but then you found out that nothing was going around anywhere else but in your lower intestines and you were like, "what's up with that?" - now you know.
I'm trying to copy and paste a link to the CDC's page on campylobacter (the spirochete that causes campylobacteriosis) but its not letting me. If you google it, it should be the first link you come up with .
