Just a little information about this whole 4D meat.
I've worked with greyhounds within the industry for about 10 years now.
The words Alabama Rot are thrown around way to much. I had a trainer call me the other day and say he thought one of the dogs had the "rot"
Turns out the dog had a small nick that he didn't see, got infected and created a wound.
How many of you have missed a small nick or scratch, that you never knew existed and then a day or two later you have an infection in the cut.
In my 10 with the greyhounds I have NEVER seen a case of Alabama Rot. There may have been things that people thought it was but turns out it wasn't.
Just a little more information about Alabama Rot from the book Care of the Racing Greyhound by Linda Blythe, James Gannon and A, MOrrie Craig
"The cause of the disease is not specifically known and may differ from area to area, but bacteria or bacterial toxin invading therough the skin layers is believed to be the basic problem."
So now you have a weakened system this is when ecoli or other bacteria will take it's opportunity to attack the system.
So just like humans a healthy human can eat raw or rare meat and not have to many problems. Normally at most get a bit sick and throw up or something.
But take an older person or a very younge person, or a person with a weak system and give them raw or rare meat the the possibility of greater sickness will come about.
That's all, also I haven't posted in this thread for a while and just wanted to say
