Advice to Parents E Coli 0157: Extract from HSE Information – Avoiding ill health at open farms

The Risk:

• Current veterinary and medical advice is that farmers should assume that all ruminates (cattle, sheep, goats and deer) carry E coli 0157
• There are no tests in the live animal to prove that it is free of E coli 0157 infection
• Young stock, or stock under stress because of pregnancy, unfamiliarity with people etc are more likely to excrete E coli 0157
• Visitors are most likely to be infected with E coli 0157 from contact with animals or their faeces

Controlling and Reducing the Risk:

• Children are not allowed unsupervised into the farmyard area
• Children must not enter the animal’s pens
• When children are in the farmyard area make sure that they wear appropriate clothing, including sturdy outdoor shoes or wellington boots if possible.
• Check that cuts, grazes etc, on children’s hands are covered with a waterproof dressing
• Do not kiss animals
• Always wash hands before and after eating, after any contact with animals and again when leaving the farmyard area
