Researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have reported that those giant trucks flying down the highway with chickens stacked many crates high are actually a hazard to our health. According to HealthDay News (via the Washington Post), these tractor-trailer trucks full of chicken and, um, the things they leave behind are filled with bacteria that can cause infections.
So keep your distance on your Thanksgiving road trip or next vacation, that truck of chickens could be quite hazardous to your health.
