Bluetongue Virus Hits Third Farm in Scotland | Glasgow News

Bluetongue virus hits a third farm in South West Scotland—just 2 km from previous outbreaks—involving one sheep. All three farms are now under strict restrictions as officials test other animals to track spread. While deadly for livestock, the virus poses no risk to humans or food safety. Spread by biting midges, it causes swelling and lameness—and can be fatal. Vaccination is key; farmers are urged to consult vets immediately. All confirmed cases have been euthanized as authorities work to contain the outbreak. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
