A new mysterious disease has revealed itself from the belly of one of the nation's largest factory farm slaughterhouses. A dozen employees working to extract brains from pigs on the slaughter line at a Hormel facility in Austin, MN have contracted a neurological disease scientists say they've never seen before. Investigators hypothesize the disease may not be contagious via ingestion of the animal tissue but rather the workers may have contracted it as they breathed in small particles of brain that were airborne via a high-pressure air hose extraction process. The disease, tentatively called "progressive inflammatory neuropathy", have caused workers to complain of burning sensations, numbness, and difficulty walking.

Since the story above, two additional slaughterhouses have reported workers contracting this mysterious disease: one in Indiana and one in Nebraska. Investigators believe the spread of the disease is due to tiny bits of pig brains in the factory air. Government officials have not issued a recall on any of the pork products in question and claim that local communities are not at risk.
