Cow attacks finally go mainstream

From The Metro:

Although dog bites accounted for about half of all the 12,410 admissions caused by animals, there was also a 19 per cent rise in those caused by bites or stings from insects that included bed bugs, mosquitoes and fleas. In total, bites and sting cases went from 3,040 in the previous year to 3,620 in 2010/11, with London the worst-affected of the regions.

Some 2,560 admissions were for people bitten or struck by cows, horses and pigs.
