The woman drank cow's milk and died of rabies... You should not make such a mistake knowingly or unknowingly, know why

A 40-year-old woman died of rabies infection in Jewar area of ​​Greater Noida. This infection occurred due to drinking raw milk of an infected cow. Experts have advised to take precautions.

A shocking incident has come to light in Thora village of Jewar area of ​​Greater Noida, where a 40-year-old woman died of rabies infection. This infection did not happen directly from the animal bite, but by drinking raw milk of an infected cow. This case also points towards unusual ways of rabies infection, which needs more caution. Let's know here…

According to a TOI report, a few months ago, a pet cow in the village was bitten by a mad dog, which caused the cow to contract rabies. About two months ago, this infected cow gave birth to a calf. The cow's first milk (khees) was traditionally distributed in the neighbourhood. Due to the deteriorating health of the cow, a veterinarian conducted an examination, which confirmed rabies. After this, the doctor advised that all those who drank the milk of this cow should immediately get vaccinated against rabies.

This is how the cow died

The cow's owner and some of her family members got vaccinated, but a woman named Seema, who lived in the neighbourhood, did not get vaccinated. After a few days, Seema's health started deteriorating. She was taken to a local hospital, from where she was referred to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi. Rabies infection was confirmed there, but despite treatment, she could not be saved.

Unusual ways of rabies transmission

Rabies is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, but in this case the source of infection was raw milk from an infected cow. According to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), drinking raw milk from animals infected with rabies poses a risk of infection. Therefore, milk from an infected animal should be consumed only after boiling it.
