CDC: Castrating Lambs With Your Teeth May Make You Sick

At first, we thought this week’s issue of the CDC’s Morbidity and
Mortality Report was utterly run-of-the-mill.

We skimmed a report on leisure-time activity among adults with and
without arthritis and an update on flu activity before we were stopped
in our tracks by something we’d never seen befo a case report on
Campylobacter jejuni infections contracted by two people working on a
sheep ranch, apparently because they used their teeth to castrate some
lambs.

C. jejuni is frequently transmitted by fecal-oral contact or consuming
contaminated food or water. And infections are commonly associated with
eating poultry or unpasteurized dairy products, the report notes.

But these two workers didn’t report consuming those food items. Nor did
they share food or water. Their common bond: of the 12 people who worked
to castrate and dock tails of 1,600 lambs at a Wyoming sheep ranch in
June, they were the only two who reported using their teeth as
castration aids.

And, during the event, “a few lambs reportedly had a mild diarrheal
illness,” the report says. C. jejuni was later isolated in two lambs.

The men, too, came down with diarrhea, and one also suffered from
abdominal cramps, fever, nausea and vomiting. One was hospitalized for a
day; both fully recovered. Lab testing suggested the infection by C.
jejuni was from a common source.

The ranch owners and employees, the MMWR notes, were advised to use
standard methods for castrating the lambs — not including the teeth.

Kerry Pride, an author of the report and veterinarian, tells us via
email that “this method has and does occur.” It was more common in the
1800s, but still goes on, Pride says, speaking for herself and not the
CDC.

It's even "curiouser" where you get your reading material from. What kind
of mailing lists are you on?

This should amuse you:

I get the impression he is in desperate need of attention and will do
anything to get it. He should get someone to show him how to use
Facebook instead of continuing to make himself look silly here with his
dire need to get attention.

.... hammer, nail, sunk...

If the Wyoming Department of Health is advising to NOT castrate lambs
with my teeth, then I will certainly follow their advice and not do
so!

Actually I've never cared for lamb. But I do care about lambs, so I
don't think I could ever do anything to hurt one of those cute little
things...

Also I believe in karma (what comes around, goes around). So probably
best to not go around doing things like that!

Speaking for myself, I don't have the balls.

I've seen a bull castration tool and google showed lamb tool to be the same.

Basically a pliers that pinches through scrotum to cut the tubes.

I'm sorry I got into this thread as it got me looking at utubes of the
event. Animals did not bother me but then I came to one where guys were
doing it to themselves including mutilating their member.
Home Guy should see all of these
