Help! I was bitten by a cow two days ago. Should I be tested for mad cow disease. Going mad with worry!?

Going mad with worry. So "Mad worry" have bitten you? I thought Mad cow, bit you.

no. you don't get mad cow disease from being bit by a cow.

First of all, a JUMP is not intended to act as a battery, it's intended to "BOOST" the available power. If you try to start a car JUST off the booster cables (jumper cables) you're not going to have any success. If you left a door open all night and drained the battery completely then you won't be able to start the car without charging the battery first, which will take several hours. But if, as you say, all the lights come on then it's not a battery problem. It could be a loose connection on the battery or on the starter or even a bad ground going from the battery negative terminal to the engine block. OR you could have a bad starter. Since you believe the battery is the problem you didn't describe any other conditions that would clue us in on what the real problem is. All anyone here can do is guess. If you have a volt meter or know someone with one, check the battery voltage before you do anything else. If the voltage is above 12 volts then things are looking good for the battery. Next, turn all the lights on, all the electrical, everything you can think of. Check the voltage again. It should still be above 12 volts. But if it goes down to 11.8 or even slightly lower, the battery may still be good. But if it falls below 11.5 then the battery is either a factory defect or is not charged properly. And stop taking battery terminals off while the engine is running. That's not good for any of the electronics. It DOES prove the alternator is giving a charge but it doesn't indicate if the alternator may be slipping on the belt. If it slips on the belt then the alternator can't recharge the battery. Eventually the battery will be so depleted it can't start the car again. AND putting a dead battery on an alternator can damage the alternator. The battery can draw more current than the alternator is rated to handle. You may end up blowing out the alternator. But that's not common. Not rare either, but it does happen Start checking voltages and grounds and the connection to the starter. After you have more information, if you haven't solved the problem post another question. Be thorough describing what you did so we can rule out things that aren't going to be the problem. Some important information is what type and age the car is. Some cars have starter relays that are powered through low amperage fuses. If the fuse or relay is gone the car won't start no matter WHAT the voltage is on the battery. If the car makes a clicking sound, if it tries to turn over, if it turns over rapidly but doesn't fire - there's lots you need to tell us or we can't help you. Sorry. Hope this helps.

no , not really its ok...

ps wanna b friends lol [email protected]

what the hell did you do to the poor cow so she bits you ???

CJD cannot be spread by being bitten by a cow, this seems a little of an over-reaction. Honestly you have nothing to worry about. Please if you have to worry yourself at all worry about things that need worrying about like whether you have turned the oven off when you left your house and whether you remember to lock the car when you left it in the parking lot.

You definitely wont have mad cow disease

no but if your that concerned ,book a appointment at your local GP.

Bitten by a cow?! Jeez, that doesn't happen often!

If it broke the skin, then yes, you should go get tested for any infection (not mad cow disease, as such, but mouths are havens for bacteria, so any infection at all should be checked for)

If it didn't, however, & you've just got an awkward bruise (at most) then there's nothing to worry about.

Certainly not to get checked for mad cow disease, but a bite is a bite, you 100% should see a doctor soon, especially if the bite pierced inside the skin, you don’t know what sort of infection it could turn too. Get it checked ;)

Mad cow (CJS) doesn't transmit that way, so no.

is this a joke?

wow! thats stupid question.NO IS THE MOST OBVIOUS ANSWER!!

No there is no longer CJD in cattle. You are quite safe, this mad cow lives next to a farm and knows these things.

omg!! ... short answer ... NO

No.

I suppose you should

Cows teeth are shaped to graze(same as horses)
They are more likely to push or head-butt you and then kick you.

Food animals such as cow, donkey, or sheep, usually don't bite, but on occasion they may, and when such bites occur, the possibility of rabies or other diseases transmitted by the mosquito or the bat must be considered.

Yes,then go get bitten by a pig. Then you will have TWO diseases!!

OH yes! And i got pooped on by a bird the other day, im going to get tested for bird flu!

yes you should go in for the test and if it comes out top be positive go in for the vaccine because mad cows bites can cause rabies....i know it sounds weird but its true!

yes.
