Keep your visor down

Deputy chief vet Fred Landeg has said of the nasty outbreak of Blue Tongue, that "test results had shown the disease...is transmitted by biting midges."

How a sheep or a cow bites a midge, I'm not sure. But keep your visors down, and if you do get a midge in the mouth, for Pete's sake spit it out....

Re: Keep your visor down

Blue tongue doesn't affect humans only cows (some females may want to keep the visors shut. ;) only joking before I get a kicking from the ladies) and maybe some other livestock.

In fact I think I heard they might sell the meat from affected cattle anyway.

More of a concern for me are those humans who speak with Forked Tongue.;)

Hope the disease doesnt get north of the border.

Midges up the hooter - already plenty of BlueNoses in Glasgow :P
