What is "sweating sickness"?

Sweating sickness, a condition affecting cattle, is caused by tick bites that inject toxins into the bloodstream of the cattle. The illness typically leads to symptoms such as excessive sweating, skin irritation, and discomfort in affected animals. Quick treatment is necessary, often involving medications to counteract the toxins and ease symptoms. Preventative measures, like tick control and proper field management, are crucial to reduce the risk of sweating sickness outbreaks among cattle herds.
