Risk Factors

Since sore mouth is primarily an illness of sheep or goats, people who handle these animals are at greatest risk of infection. Specific activities that may put you at risk of infection include:

• Bottle feeding, tube feeding, or shearing animals (i.e., sheep or goats)
• Petting or having casual contact with infected animals
• Handling infected equipment
• Working with animals when you have an open cut or skin sore
• Being bitten by an infected animal
