The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development says pigs at the Eastern Michigan State Fair in Imlay City this past week tested positive for swine flu. The agency says fair officials notified the agency last Friday that one pig had a fever and was showing symptoms of the virus. The pig barn was subsequently closed to the public and all suspected pigs were removed. A total of 10 animals tested positive for swine flu. Although there are no reported human illnesses, officials are informing fair-goers to report any influenza like symptoms to their local health department. Swine flu was also detected at the Fowlerville Family Fair in Livingston County this past week as well.
