Scientists say napalm should be used to get rid of Britain's foot-and-mouth-infected carcasses.
The mix of petrol and glue was developed as a weapon and famously used in the Vietnam war.
Scientists say it is cheap and can destroy a body quicker than a wooden pyre.
Napalm was successfully used by the Nevada Department of Agriculture during an outbreak of anthrax last year.
Martin Hugh-Jones, a vet at Louisiana State University, said it's perfectly safe if used properly: "Napalm does not vaporise easily and so does not produce dangerous fumes.
"Nor does it produce any dangerous by-products as a result of burning."
