There's no truth to what Alex is saying, but interestingly, in the aftermath of the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak in the UK, there were a ton of rumors flying around about how it started. Subsequent investigations have shown that it started on a farm that was feeding its livestock untreated waste, but that didn't stop theories from flying around in the days immediately after the outbreak.
