We know it here as "Fiebre Aftosa". We´ve been fighting it for years and years .. and finally last year Argentina was declared free of the disease. With this we qualified to sell meat to USA, UK and Europe. But unfortunatelly food an mouth reappeared this year, partially loosing the status. I say partially because f.and m. appeared only in a few provinces (states) and only these are banned for exportation. About wether it is contagious or not, I can say that you can think in Argentina as STEAK-LAND. We ( I personally ) use to eat meat twice a day in a way or another .... Yes, you can envy me ... we may have the worst economy of the "wish to be developed" world but here beef is still cheaper than pizza !!! And I´m not jocking ... Of course, I am proudly healthy.
