Foot-and-mouth very rarely passes from animals to human beings."It's real rare in humans," said Bruce Lawhorn, a professor and veterinarian at Texas A&M University. Many humans have worked with infected animals without any protection, and very few have ever been affected, he said. Furthermore, experts say in humans the disease causes mild, flu-like symptoms, which clear up in a week or two — so there's not that much to worry about.

would not have been difficult to have persuaded Isaac to this step in any other circumstances, for his disposition was kind and grateful. But he had also the prejudices and scrupulous timidity of his persecuted people, and those were to be conquered.

“Speak not so, my dear father,” replied Rebecca; “we may not indeed mix with them in banquet and in jollity; but in wounds and in misery, the Gentile becometh the Jew’s brother.”
