It's not "a" or "a bug" it is three parasitic diseases, neospora,
sarcocytosis and toxoplasmosis. All can cause abortions in cattle. The
diseases can also be contracted by humans with similar consequences.

TNP's advice to put dog**** on plants is yet another sign of his idiocy.
If vegetables are grown in the same bed then there's a risk of the
diseases in the dog crap being picked up by humans.
