Just had a strange incident at work due to the use of chicken litter. Chicken litter was spread on some fields near where I had a crew working and over half the crew contracted Salmonella. One of the guys was hospitalized and another may have to be admitted as well. Its a pretty bad deal and these guys are as sick as dogs. Thing is we weren't even working in the fields where the litter was spread and the best I can figure is the field was dry and the trucks coming in the field threw up dust which contained the salmonella spores and this was ingested through breathing the dust. Never heard of this happening but I thought it worth mentioning to those who use chicken litter.
