No, I know its not contagious. I also know its rare. There doesn't seem to be a logical reason for someone to come down with it in Palm Beach (no cattle or sheep). I'm not so worried about coming down with is as in determining how htis guy came down with it.

It does seem a little odd, but maybe we're just more sensitive to this kind of news than we otherwise would be. It's rare to be sure, but I'll bet there are a handful of cases every year in this country. I know the CDC makes vaccine available to vets that work with sheep and cattle - so there must be some risk.
