Britain's tourist industry has been hit hard by foot-and-mouth disease. But fears could well be rooted in wild misunderstandings. Peri stomps on some common foot-and-mouth myths:

Myth: No trespassing! The countryside is barred to visitors.

Reality: Most restrictions apply only to certain footpaths. And barely 20 percent of attractions are affected.

The entire country is blighted.

About 1,500 farms have been hit by the disease out of 160,000.

Foot-and-mouth kills people.

Please! The disease is rare indeed inhumans. At most, you get something like the flu.
