Sad to hear :( Will have to start wearing rubber gloves when field dressing.
A few months ago, a couple of guys got it in Laurens County, SC. I wear rubber gloves anyway.
It can be contracted via the air, as well. Haven't resorted to wearing a mask yet but always wear gloves when skinning one.
There were 112 cases of swine brucellosis in Florida last year. I personally knew three of the guys, they butcher a LOT of hogs,though.
Sounds like Ya ought to Shoot the Hog, cover with Flammables, and Set Fire to the Nasty Varmint. :scared: :scared: BE CAREFUL!! :thumbsup:
