Ignorance is bliss. Look away perhaps- add yours

In 2015 I did a Anatomical study of my favorite food- Sambar or Rusa unicolor

I was prompted by a Victorian Hunting guide picture which had the neck of a deer in a artistic not realistic spot. The project got a lot bigger than my first wish to xray just one deer. University Of Melb and others drove me to CT scanning three deer. A odd side effect was lead bullet distribution was shown for the first time up to about 100cm from the bullet would area. Its about to come out again due to some chatter about banning the use of lead bullets for hunting. I am not using lead and honestly do not like Banns of most things! In 2015 several people felt I shouldn't show this as it may cause a ban on Lead bullets. Ignorance is bliss

On another "Ignorance is bliss. Look away perhaps" try

"Researchers have investigated the spread of H5N1, a contagious and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), at nine farms in the US states of Texas, New Mexico, Kansas and Ohio — and found that "epidemiologic and genomic data revealed efficient cow-to-cow transmission."In a study, rush-released by the journal Nature on July 25 after an initial peer review, the researchers reported a "spillover of HPAI H5N1 virus in dairy cattle herds […]."
They were also able to detect cattle-to-cat and cattle-to-raccoon transmission, highlighting, as they put it, "the virus' ability to cross species barriers."
Their evidence suggested the mammary gland in cattle was "the main site of virus replication, resulting in substantial virus shedding in milk." Some infected cows had produced discolored and/or curdled milk.
The researchers wrote that while "risk of human-to-human transmission remains low," the virus' "continuous and widespread circulation" posed "a significant threat to animal and public health.""

Off for a run to listen to music

When I was gainfully employed, I did a fair bit of rural work. On one occasion, I was on a dairy farm and we used a bright pink "Flagging" tape on various trees, stakes, pickets etc.
After a few days, the cow cocky advised us that his cows were chewing on the tape and it was causing them to produce strawberry coloured milk. We had to stop using it, as the milk board wouldn't accept the milk.

What a lost opportunity...
They make flagging tape in MANY different colours....

But, of course, Pedro. The little company I worked with for my last 30 years of employment, had its own tape, 'Colour System', so any employee could go on site and have a good idea of what was going on. It also made it easier for contractors/developers.

For example, with underground services: Blue tape was used on stakes to set out retic. water lines, Red for power, Yellow for gas, Pink for Stormwater lines.
The only issue we had was there was no Brown tape available, so White was used for sewer lines.

Must've been the same cocky who, when he was running sheep, claimed when the stock licked the star pickets, he got steel wool.

Or, the soil was so fertile, you could put a nail in it and three years later you'd have a crowbar.

You'd want to be careful with Hydra teeth.
