Bravo' Theresa,

It should be noted that there are MANY sources of infections, which is why surgical supplies are sterilized.

I agreed that the surgical supplies must be sterilized.
I remember that in some countries was some problems with un-sterilized needles, not in Egipt.

But this news display that smuggled meat can go everywhere geographicaly.
This time, the gov. found them. In other times and destinations, the meat, or the live poultry maybe goes un-noticed, and spreading the illness further in various regions of the country.

I should think the primary risk was to the workers in the plant. Definitely a "hands-on" sort of job.
