BARCOO ROT VOMIT Meaning and Definition

  1. "Barcoo rot vomit" is a peculiar term that refers to a syndrome commonly found in animals, particularly cattle, sheep, and horses, that graze in certain regions of Australia, specifically the outback. This term is a combination of three distinctive components: Barcoo rot, which addresses a skin condition, and vomit, which denotes the gastrointestinal distress often experienced by affected animals.

    The first element, Barcoo rot, refers to a type of dermatitis characterized by severe inflammation and ulceration of the skin. It is caused by various environmental factors, mainly flies and biting insects, heat, and high humidity. Symptoms typically include the formation of large, open sores or lesions on the animal's body, especially around areas prone to flystrike or where insects tend to congregate.

    The second component, vomit, describes the manifestation of gastrointestinal problems experienced by animals affected by Barcoo rot. This can range from mild to severe, leading to symptoms like vomiting, regurgitation, inappetence, and abdominal discomfort. It is believed that the ingestion of contaminated feed, water, or soil contributes to the development of these stomach-related issues.

    The term "Barcoo rot vomit" serves as a concise expression to depict the combined dermatological and gastrointestinal distress experienced by animals grazing in specific Australian regions. While it primarily relates to livestock, the term can also be applied to other animals inhabiting or passing through these areas that display similar symptoms.

  2. Attacks of nausea and vomiting accompanied by bulimia affecting those living in the interior of the southern part of Australia.
