University of California Egg Study

Biosecurity both from the standpoint of protecting people from diseases the animals might be carrying, and from the standpoint of preventing people or objects (shoes, clothing, equipment) from carrying diseases out to spread to other animals. Nowadays they use an outer layer that can be either discarded, disinfected or sterilized.
Sometimes big farms, particularly swine farms, require you to shower and dress their clothing before entering, then change back when you leave.

Maurice contacted me to let me know that there is going to be a news story on our Local CBS station Tonight at 5 to 6pm. I will link to it when it is up on their news site

I was asked to be interviewed too but found out about it too late to get over to Maurice's office.

Maybe next time!

CBS 13 in Sacramento posted a link to their story about the egg study:

Hmmm. People are supposed to be cautious about eating the eggs their chickens lay "in case" but until the study is done, your choices are "eat" and "don't eat" and there isn't anything you can "be careful" about with no knowledge. Might lead to a Chicken Little scenario until results are in.

Also seems like if they do find "contamination" they will need the people who sent in the eggs for the initial testing to do so again at intervals since they want to see if any contamination declines over time.

Wonders if they do find 'contamination' in the eggs they will collect more from same source to track duration of contamination and maybe even do necropsies to examine internal organs?

Wonders also if that woman reported her concerns and that's what stared the study.
