Apparently this disease is Anatolia and we have every reason to avoid contact with paddock grasses.  Here is the info:

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection with a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus) in the family Bunyaviridae. The disease was first characterized in the Crimea in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in the Congo, thus resulting in the current name of the disease.

The school grounds are being sprayed against the tick that carries the disease as there are cattle in neighbouring paddocks. KC says that her cat often comes in with ticks which are easily spotted on its white fur.
