"And you must not stick for a groat or twelvepence more than another man would give, if it be a good bow.
For a good bow twice paid for, is better than an ill bow once broken.

People need to be clear that you don't have to eat the pigs to get infected. Just handling your kills so you can take photos can expose you and so you should take care to have a way to wash your hands after handling the pigs or wear gloves if you have any cuts or sores on your hands.

Sound advise, thanks Fella's. I need to start wearing rubber gloves when I handle Game. It's not just Brucellosis we need to be aware of, there is plenty of potential Disease and Parasites carried by Australian Game some of which may present a danger to Humans.
