Final tests confirm that six pigs from the Minnesota State Fair have contracted H1N1.

That's three more than researchers had originally thought.

These tests confirm the first cases of pigs contracting the virus in the country.

Officials believe the pigs caught the virus from some of the nearly 1.8 million people who visited the fair.

The U.S.D.A. still stressing tonight that Swine Flu can't be contracted by eating pork products.

Humans are the ones that gives H1N1 to the pigs, but noone reports that case.
