Veterinarian Dr. Michael Vickers explains the threat of exotic, human-strain tuberculosis entering the U.S. through migrant labor in the dairy industry. He reports that a dairy in Castro County had to slaughter 10,000 cows due to high infection rates, threatening the state's TB-free status. Vickers warns that these diseases are being transmitted from humans to animals and back, creating a public health crisis.
