Tobacco Blue Mold Information

H1N1 Flu Information
Anyone with flu symptoms should see their private physician or the local health department.

Swine farmers should heighten biosecurity practices around the farm to be sure that no one enters the farm without properly disinfecting.

Currently, no swine farm in the United States has been infected, so there is no need to worry about catching the virus from pigs, a truck carrying pigs, wastewater, or pork products. There is more worry that humans will contaminate pigs instead of pigs contaminating humans.

Pork is completely safe to eat. Always be sure to follow proper cooking procedures for meats.

Greene County Center gives our county's residents easy access to the resources and expertise of NC State University and NC A&T State University. Through educational programs, publications, and events, Cooperative Extension agents deliver unbiased, research-based information to Greene County citizens. We can answer your questions on a wide array of topics. To find out how we can help you, browse our site or contact us by email or phone.
