Animals That Infect Humans Are Scary. It’s Worse When We Infect Them Back.

It’s long been known that the way humans treat animals is an invitation for viruses to come haunt us. This story on the looming threat from Mink farms makes it as tangible as it can be. If you don’t feel like reading any more stories about deadly viruses — still click and have a look at the illustrations throughout the story, they are gorgeous. (If, on the other hand, you can’t get enough of deadly viruses, Mike Davis’ «The Monster at Our Door» is the book to read).
