Cow lick...hmmmmm: I dont know of any specific 'cow lick infection' but infections can be spread by cows (zoonoses) including anthrax (touching animal sores or infected skins), brucellosis/tb (via unpasturized milk), tetanus (cow pies), parasites (same) and rabies (saliva). As well, cows can spread a picorna virus causing deadly hoof and mouth disease in herds through saliva. I would only be liked by a cow i know!
