Can you get AIDS from an animal?
I have a welsh corgi mixed with 1/4 queensland healer, named Cinnamon. Okay so today my mom accidentally stepped on my dog's paw, and she (the dog) yelped. So I made the dog stand still so I could look at her paw. Well my dog has had a wart on her paw for a while now. And the vet said it's benign and isn't really doing anything and it will cost a couple thousand to remove so we haven't removed it. So I was looking at her paw and the wart was bleeding a little bit, so we cleaned it up with a Kleenex and put some colloidal silver on it. In this process I got a little bit of blood on my hand. Should I be worried? After all historically AIDs originally came from men practicing bestiality with sheep. I washed my hands good with soap. I don't have any open cuts. My dog has had all her shots and doesn't have AIDs that I know of and I recently got a tetanus booster. Also does anyone have any ideas of what to do about my dog's wart? Over the counter wart removers don't work, and she won't leave a rubber band on it or wear a sock out of the rag pile. My grandma has suggested putting a nail in boiling water and then carefully putting the head of the nail on the wart. She says that's what they would do to the dairy cows when she was little. We don't want to do that because we don't want to accidentally burn the dog instead of the wart, and we're not sure the dog will let us as she is afraid of the vacuum.
I'm an English major undergrad. I'm not studying to be a doctor or anything. Calm down people.
Also most of the cost to remove the wart is for the anesthesia. The vet would want to put her out and because she is such a small dog there is a risk of her not waking back up.
