When someone is “none the wiser,” that person doesn’t know something has happened. For example, a farmer may sell an infected hog to another farmer. But if that pig is not showing symptoms of ASF, the buyer may be none the wiser. That means, the farmer may not actually know the pig he has bought is infected.
