Chris Lyons+FollowFrance’s Cattle Hit by Rare Viral OutbreakFrance just found its first case of lumpy skin disease in cattle, and it’s a big deal for farmers. This virus spreads fast through insect bites, causing blisters and less milk (but don’t worry, it can’t infect humans). Authorities are locking down cattle movement in a huge area near the Alps to stop it from spreading. Trade could take a hit, and it’s already been spotted in Italy and North Africa recently. Wild times for the French countryside! #FranceNews #Cattle #LumpySkinDisease #Health #BodyHealth40Share
Kevin Craig+FollowSyringe Scare at French Music FestImagine heading out for live music and ending up in the hospital—145 people in France reported being pricked with syringes during the Fête de la Musique! Police have detained 12 suspects, but it’s still unclear what was injected (if anything) or if the attacks were coordinated. Even teens weren’t spared, and some needed toxicology tests. The whole thing has everyone on edge, and investigations are still underway. Wild, right? #MusicFestival #FranceNews #SafetyAlert #Health #BodyHealth70Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowEggs Behind Major Salmonella Outbreak?Over 100 people in France have gotten sick from a Salmonella outbreak, and eggs are the main suspect! Most cases are in the Paris area, with some folks even ending up in intensive care. The crazy part? The exact source of the contaminated eggs still hasn’t been found. Even mayonnaise from a restaurant tested positive. This is the biggest outbreak of its kind in the region—so maybe double-check those eggs before your next omelette! #Salmonella #FoodSafety #FranceNews #Health #BodyHealth40Share
