Brucellosis

For people who check facts
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease, which causes fever, headache, weakness and general aching. The disease is common in animals in countries with little or no effective animal disease control programs.

Humans can get infected by consuming contaminated dairy products, contact with an infected animal, or inhaling the bacteria. Transferring the bacteria from person to person is very unlikely.
