If you were bitten by a rhinoceros, would you get a cold?

Asked by Sakata (3347points) July 17th, 2009

I’m not sure how you would get yourself into a situation where a rhinoceros could bite you, but, for the purpose of this question, let’s say you did.

What do those two things have to do with each other?

Rhinovirus

Conversely, I’ve had chicken pox but I’m relatively certain I didn’t get it from a chicken.

Twee!

No, the two are not related. Despite the name.

Yes. And if I was bitten by a giraffe I’d get a sore throat.

Thank god hot dogs don’t have teeth!

@Bri_L , I avoid cockatiels for that very reason.

No, but I would sue the fuck out of Jack Hanna.

No. Were it a radioactive Rhinoceros you would gain the proportionate strength, speed and agility of a Rhinoceros – thus transforming you into Rhino Man.

@Blondesjon even Jay Han knew you don’t fuck with a rhino dude

@cprevite Have you been drinking coffee today? lol

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

maybe not coffee

cak's avatar

something a bit more stout than coffee, methinks!

Edited to add: And I’m ticked. If he’s drinking something more stout than coffee and not sharing, that is not very nice, is it?

Bri_L's avatar

@SirBailey -LURVE!! Haha.

Yes, especially if it was a zombie rhinoceros

If I was bitten by a Rhino, I’d probably get Tetanus or Gangrene knowing my luck.

cookieman's avatar

Sorry, no coffee today – but I was reading comic books.

chyna's avatar

@cprevite That would have been my second guess.

I thought all that Rhinos are good for is stamping out camp fires, which is a good thing during a drought, but not so good if you are cold and hungry.

fireside's avatar

No, I’d get a fever.

If you were bitten by a rhinoceros you would not live long enough to catch a cold. It is one of the worst tempered creatures in all of Africa. The question is moot.

bcstrummer's avatar

I think this is a blonde question, my answer: you don’t get rhinovirus from a rhino

AstroChuck's avatar

Nor rhinoplasty.

@AstroChuck: You do sometimes get up my nose.
