Okay.... just in case this is real.... I too hope your pee pee rots off. The Bible has a lot of bad things to say about goats so probably. Sheep on the other hand should be safe enough. Horses might kill ya. (Seriously that happened not that long ago in Washington State.) Stick to sheep and other "kosher" animals and you should be safe.

Yes, my family takes it right when they start to feel like they are getting sick, and it helped to boost their immunes systems. Should be harmless, it just has immune boosters in it that baby cows need at birth (and people for that matter, too) to help build up their immune system. I also took some and seemed to help. Good luck and enjoy!

Yes, you should be worried.  I would talk to your mother, see if she had any flings with a canine, or maybe a bigfoot.  There is a good chance that your sister isn't 100% human.  You should immediately shove her into a cage before her animal instincts kick in and she eats your throat.

I have heard that there is some health benifit from seperating milk and dairy.  The iron in meat and the calcium in dairy tend to bind together so that you don't get the benifit of either one.  By not eating them at the same meal you better absorb both the calcium and the iron.\n\nNow obviously that is not the reason we don't mix the two.  The basis of the command is the fact that Torah says you should not boil a kid in its mother's milk.  Now that could be taken just at face value.  But Torah makes the same command 3 different times in 3 different places. That is understood to mean that the command has to be taken at more than its face value.  A "hedge" of protection is placed around the basic command.  So the understanding that is accepted is that no mixing of milk and dairy is permitted.\n\nNow as to how you should live your life, obviously there is no need for you to live under the rabbinic injunctions unless you feel like it.  Yes, it is probably improper for you to take and animal from its mother and to take its mother's milk that was intended to nourish it and the boil that kid in that milk. But whether you should keep milk plates and meat plates in different cupboards - that probably isn't anything you really need to worry about.\n\nBe obediant to the basic commands of Scripture and don't worry about the traditions unless you are convinced that the tradition is appropriate to observe.  In the position you are in you don't need to feel that you have to answer to anyone about how you are obediant, don't let them judge you in your keeping of dietary laws, holy days or anything else.  Live righteously and do justice.

I have a friend who is a dairy farmer and I asked him this question before. He said that the cows have to be milked whenever they have milk otherwise they would get sick, produce toxins and the milk that they produce wouldn't be any good.

Certain diseases would prevent you from being a donor, specifically if you'd ever had hepatitis.\n\nThe general rules for donating blood when one is taking insulin or other medication that may cause allergic reactions seem to apply. \n\nWith possible concerns of mad cow disease (bovine encephalopathies), there may also be some general rules about avoiding any contact with beef product of any kind. Since bovine insulin might have some slow virus contamination, this would be a conservative recommendation to avoid any possible cow products of any kind.

It is called the foot and mouth diseae which attackes cattle like pigs, cows, goats and so on. Looks like livestocks, including chickens that spread the bird flu are not to be taken for the time being. If you worry, take fish only or opt to be a vegeterian instead.Meantime, protection yourself by taking lots fruits becos they contain Vit.C and eating raw garlic or pills form of it.

You could possibly talk to your pediatrician and ask him what are the chances of your baby getting sick from your animals.I work at a veterinary hospital the studies have shown if you tend to have animals around your children at a early age say before the age of 18 months these children tend to have less allegies around animals.Always ask your family doctor or pediatrician with any concerns.

Bringing live animals across the border is more difficult now since the government is trying to stop the mouth and feet disease to come to Mexico.\n\nYou will need to get your horse for inspection, and probably to make it fast you can offer them fifty bucks as a "tip" to make things faster...

Try gurgling with listerine and drinking mint tea with lemon.  Stay away from dairy products.

Direct quote (not my own words)\n\nToxoplasmosis is an important zoonotic disease. Around 30% of the adult population in the UK have serological evidence of infection but, as with cats, the vast majority of these human infections are either asymptomatic or result in only mild clinical disease. Of major concern however, is congenitally acquired toxoplasmosis. As noted above, this can only occur when a previously unexposed (non-immune) woman acquires toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. In this situation there is approximately a 40% chance that the foetus will acquire the infection, and in around 10% of these cases, severe neurological or ocular disease is present at birth. \n\nMost surveys show that owning a cat, or having direct contact with a cat does not constitute an increased risk of acquiring toxoplasmosis. Although cats are crucial in the life-cycle of T gondii , and are the only known source of oocysts present in the environment, it is stray and feral cats more than pet cats that are implicated in this. In the UK and other industrialised countries, it is mainly adolescent and adult humans who acquire infection with T gondii , and this is primarily correlated with the acquired habits of eating undercooked meat, and of poor meat hygiene. Ingestion of infected meat therefore appears to be the major source of human infection in the UK . \n\nFollowing a few sensible environmental and meat hygiene measures can greatly reduce the risk of human infection. \n\nCook all meat thoroughly to at least 70 degrees C \nWash hands, utensils and surfaces carefully after handling raw meat \nWash all vegetables carefully \nWear gloves when gardening in soil potentially contaminated by cat faeces \nEmpty cat litter trays daily, dispose of litter carefully and disinfect tray with boiling water. If this is done every day, even if a cat is excreting oocysts, they will not have sporulated and therefore will not be infectious by the time the litter is changed \nDiscourage pet cats from hunting and avoid feeding raw/undercooked meat \nCover any children's sandpits/boxes to prevent cats using them as a litter tray. \n \n\nFeline Advisory Bureau

All animals can carry bacteria, so this could be possible, but the doctors should be able to detect this.  Best of luck.

I wouldn't eat under cook meat at all. But Mad Cow -you can get from even cooked meat-the disease is in the meat. Because the country wanted to produce fatter and bigger producers of milk and meat-we have literaly poisoned our livestock-we inject them, we feed them (vegetarians by nature) animal by products in their food, all sorts of poisons. Their offspring's are messed up for day one. We have more poisons in our food than anywhere else. Money was the motivator. And the FDA will not admit it!! Look on web for more information. Thats is why new groups our forming-for more grass fed-or range free and antibiotic free eggs and such. Ashame of our country for this but it will continue until people start fighting back.

If there is pus or blood in milk, the animal could have mastitis.  You can buy tests to see if the cow has mastitis, and if it does, you can treat it easily, as long as you catch it as soon as the cow contracts it.
