1Peril
of “Choking Cows’*
“Don’t ‘doctor’ cows that appear to be choking. Get professional assistance.” That is the advice of the State Health Department to farmers.
The department said that inability to swallow was one of the major symptoms of rabies and farmers had been bitten while attempting to aid rabid cows.
When a cow appears to be choking, the department said, a farmer frequently believes it has an apple or some other food stuck in its throat, and he attempts to remove the object by putting his hand down the animal’s throat.
While be is doing this, the deapartment warned, the animal’s teeth may cut or scratch him, making a wound through which the , rabies virus may pass.
The department also explained that indigestion was another symptom of rabies.
