You're right the thread probably still would have come up, but not because people are out to get you. A negative could still be a positive. IBD is notoriously hard to diagnose in live animals if they aren't showing obvious symptoms. Sometimes even if they are, they don't test positive for it that's why this disease is so dangerous and worrisome to breeders. Sometimes even animals that people are SURE died from IBD don't show the inclusion bodies. I'd say even if the tests come back negative a warning should still be let out to your potential buyers and the waiting period you stated earlier should still come into effect. Maybe not one that blatantly says hey these guys could have IBD, but maybe a reminder to quarantine? I just know I'd be upset if someone had an incident or two of possible IBD deaths and I wasn't told about it...
