A Different Kind of Mad Cow

ProMED-mail reports on a different kind of mad cow disease:

The Rogers County Health Department held a special clinic Saturday [31 Dec 2005] to begin treating people identified as at risk for contracting rabies after drinking raw milk from a rabid cow.
Oklahoma State Department of Health officials announced last week that people who drank raw, un-pasteurized milk or cream sold by Swan Bros. Dairy in Claremore from 4-19 Dec 2005 may have been exposed.
So far, 45 people have begun receiving a regimen of rabies vaccinations, officials said.
