Indirect transfer from person to person contact, for example at sporting or social events, and then onwards to livestock is possible but unlikely.<br> <br> The main risk of people spreading the disease comes from direct contact with an infected animal or its dung. People can pick up the virus on their hands, clothes and footwear and transfer it to another animal. This is why it is crucial to avoid all physical contact with livestock and to avoid farm steadings, yards and enclosed fields where there could be dung from infected animals. This advice is especially important for dog owners. Dogs must not be allowed off the lead as they may disperse other animals and can be attracted by dung.<br> <br> In areas of Scotland which are free of foot and mouth disease, the risk from walking on the open hill or paths not regularly frequented by sheep and cattle is extremely low. It is still important to ensure that livestock, wild deer and goats are not disturbed.<br> <br> The virus can remain active for three days in summer and up to two weeks in dried mud or dung on clothing, shoes or vehicles but it can be killed by heat or disinfectants. If you have mud or dung on your footwear, you should clean them as soon as possible. Washing your footwear with soap and hot water will be sufficient.<br> <br> The risks of spreading foot and mouth are greatest in the areas where the disease has already occurred. But we can’t assume the disease isn’t present elsewhere. By following the guidance in this code, we can all minimise the chances of spreading foot and mouth and begin to allow life in the country to return to normal.<br> <br> Prepared by Scottish Natural Heritage for SERAD, in agreement with:<br> <br> Activity Scotland, British Horse Society, Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, Deer Commission for Scotland, Forestry Commission, Highland Hostels, Historic Scotland, John Muir Trust, Mountaineering Council for Scotland, National Farmers Union of Scotland, National Trust for Scotland, Ramblers’ Association, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, Scottish Countryside Activities Council, Scottish Landowners’ Federation, Scottish Tourism Forum, Scottish Wildlife Trust, Scottish Youth Hostels Association, sportscotland, visitscotland.</span> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
