Some of the diseases but not all that hogs carry are brucellosis, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, toxoplasmosis, sarcoptic mange, Escherichia coli-related illness and trichinosis. One major disease that a hog carries is leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a corkscrew shaped bacteria that can cause mild headaches or fever to bleeding of the lungs.

Red Meat: A Killer Unmasked For centuries people have considered red meats, such as beef and pork, as essential to a healthy diet. (Teicholz). Red meat has always been a favorite at the meal table, and America is the world’s leading consumer for meats per capita – red and poultry; however, an interesting shift has occurred since 1970 (Dokoupil; Molla).
