There are a number of diseases that can pass from cows to humans; the most common are cryptosporidiosis, E. coli, ringworm, and salmonellosis. Fortunately, precautions are very simple:

  • wash your hands with soap after handling animals
  • avoid raw milk and milk products
  • cook meat to appropriate internal temperatures
  • handle raw meat as though it is infectious
  • thoroughly wash surfaces and utensils used to prepare raw foods

There is an excellent website on zoonotic diseases of cattle linked below.
