I fell in cow poop am I going to be ok?
I was near this farm (which is "convientally" (sarcasm) located right behind my apartment). I was walking with friends and there was this random big area of cow poop and they got across with no problem. I couldn't get across and I kind of did, and then I randomly slipped and fell then my shoe got stuck in cow poo and I had to pull that foot out. Now, one shoe is full with cow poop and the other has a nice coating of manure on it and my socks also have some poop on them and I think a little even got on my phone. I took a long shower and now I think I'm clean. But, I looked at my arm and there was a tiny cut and there was a little bit of cow poop near it.Can I get any diseases? I know of E.Coli and other foodborne sickness but that's fecal-oral (hopefully). It's unlikely they have mad cow disease or anything but still am I going to ok??
Another question, anyway to clean everything? I think I'll put soap all over the shoes and put them in the shower.
One last question, what's the chances there was more then just cow poop (sythenic pesticides, chemicals, etc.)?

Don't worry, you're fine. You're shoes on the other hand........ •<0;-D~
If the shoes are leather, they should clean right up, except for maybe a stain, depending on what color they are. But, if they're cloth or some type of man made material, they may be ruined. If they are, don't throw them out. Cow manure loses the odor & will come right off when it dries. But if you can't wait for that, clean them up as best as you can, & keep them. That way you'll have an old "funky" pair to wear the next time you're walking in the pasture, & you won't hafta worry about messing up any more. We have a couple'a pair each. •<0:-D~

I don't know how to put this lightly but no. Most likely small pus filled sores will begin to break out near the sight of infection. Popping these will only result in more and/or larger pus filled sores. These are harmless but really gross. However you must be aware of the potential WBC (White Blood Cell) infection, because with out properly working WBC's you will be prone to many other diseases. Cancer, Mad Cows Disesase (hehe) etc. In order to prevent this you must begin the following rehabilitation/treatment process ASAP. Every night before you eat dinner you must drink 2/3 of a cup of chocalate milk. Then finish the leftover 1/3 as you take the last bite of your food. In the morning you must do the same, but drink your 1/3 of chocolate milk with the first bite of food and finish the 2/3's after you are done. Lunch becomes more difficult. You follow the same process as dinner, but with Scotch (on the rocks if you are a pussy) while balancing a pencil on your nose OR do it while upside down, your choice. Keep this up for a week and you should be good as new :)
