Would You Rather: Syphilis or Avian Flu?
JMU may be used to an STD outbreak every now and then in Eagle hall, but we may now find ourselves a little too close and cuddly with a disease of another kind:

The Avian Flu (duhn duhn duhhhn!).

Rockingham County boasts the title of poultry capital of the US (yeah, that’s the delicious after-rain smell), but when avian flu was detected in 54,000 turkeys near Mount Jackson (just up 81), the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shut down all poultry-related fairs, sales, and litter-spreading (um, ew!).
