Ohio pork producers want Ohioans to know that they will not get swine flu from eating pork. The group's Dick Isler says people hear that title and sometimes incorrectly assume there's a problem with pork.

That’s why he says there’s a move afoot to change the name of the illness. Isler says the bigger problem is that humans who have the illness can infect hogs.
