MYSTERIOUS BRAIN DISEASE SURFACES AT HORMEL SLAUGHTERHOUSE

| |


A new mysterious disease has revealed itself from the belly
of one of the nation’s largest factory farm slaughterhouses.
A dozen employees working to extract brains from pigs on
the slaughter line at a Hormel facility in Austin, MN have
contracted a neurological disease scientists say they’ve
never seen before. Investigators hypothesize the disease
may not be contagious via ingestion of the animal tissue
but rather the workers may have contracted it as they breathed
in small particles of brain that were airborne via a high-pressure
air hose extraction process. The disease, tentatively called
"progressive inflammatory neuropathy", have caused
workers to complain of burning sensations, numbness, and
difficulty walking.
