Had a guts-full?











Stomach bugs linked to lambs, calves.

Stomach diseases are increasing in Southland.
Children under 5 are most at risk.

This year it's worse.

'Most of the gastroenteric diseases noted so far this spring were in relation to farm workers or young children living on farms' - Southland District Health board medical officer of health Dr Marion Poole.
