Ya I know, it has been on the news down here as well.
Bovine TB.
I cut my self this last november too. now I have to make an apointment to see the doc and get my self tested as well.
I was wiping the blood off my hands and knife when it slipped and about sliced the side of my finger off.
I treated it as well as my first aid skills allowed me. I should have went in and got stiches but I didnt. for a self preservation first aid thing I did quite well, the scar is not bad at all,
I did bleed good so I am hoping that I flushed any deer blood that had gotten in to infect. I havent felt any simptoms mentioned on the news, but they said it is vary slow acting and when it takes hold it is as much a contagous threat and humab TB.
