Is there any chance of getting diseases from farm animals? How can one give protection to farm labours?
Diseases that communicate from animals to human are known as zoonotic diseases. Anthrax, Brucellosis, Tuberculosis, and certain allergies are some of the important zoonotic disease. Protection to labours from such diseases is difficult to achieve because by the time the disease is confirmed in animals, the person working in the farm may already get the infection. However, incidence of all the diseases are rare and if contacted can be cured with treatment. The best way is to go for periodic preventive medical check up of employees working in the farm.
