Two people have caught flu strains that normally circulate in pigs, the CDC says, and pig exhibits at state fairs appear to be to blame
Each patient became ill with flu-like symptoms about 10 days after visiting pig exhibits at two different agricultural fairs in early and late July. Neither was hospitalized, and their infections do not appear to have spread to other people, the CDC said. Both cases were identified by the Michigan Department of Health. There are a few such cases in the U.S. each year, usually linked to swine exhibits at fairs.
Usually, cases like these don’t cause further problems because the viruses are adapted to infecting other species, but because there’s always the possibility that such a spillover could cause widespread disease, the CDC says they always fully trace and investigate these cases.
