MEXICO CITY – Mexico's Agriculture Department on Thursday denied rumors that a case of high-pathogenic avian flu had been found in a town on the U.S. border.
“Mexico is totally free of bird flu,” Jose Angel del Valle, the department's head of animal health, said in a telephone interview. A supposed news item posted on the Web site radiolivre.org on Wednesday said there had been a case of H5 bird flu in a duck found dead in the town of Nogales, on the U.S. border. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said earlier Thursday that the report was a complete hoax, but the rumor affected Chicago Board of Trade grain prices overnight Wednesday. Last year, Mexico reported several isolated cases of low-pathogenic bird flu, which doesn't affect humans. The most recent case was in the southern state of Chiapas, near the Guatemalan border. |

Yikes, I live in AZ. People in AZ go in and out of there all the time.
A thought just occured to me. If it is true, hmmm, I'm thinking of the illegal immigrant issue that we face here. It's a hotly debated topic. Could get really ugly.

I'm in AZ too - it'll be here eventually regardless, even if it's not now. It sounds like other countries are doing ok with it in birds. When it goes sustained H2H...I'll be locked in the house.
