Humans cannot get FMD and the risk to people visiting the UK is remote

American school-teacher was quoted as saying that you could only get FMD if
you touched the hooves of the affected cow not its rump (yeah, a
school-teacher, thats whats scary!).


It is my understanding that FMD is a disease of only ruminant animals.  Am I
correctly informed?  And if this is correct, then this leaves out dogs, cats,
horses, and humans.
