Q: I'm visiting New Mexico where we have a cattle ranch, We worked several sick cows that had fever.

This was on Saturday.  Monday morning after walking 4 miles I started having aches all over my body and pain shooting through my ears and head.  Then I had chills.  All of this happened within an hour.  I took my temperature and it was at 101 then later at 102 degrees.  I took aspirin and it took my temperature down to 101.  I woke up about 2 am all covered in sweat.  But my aches were gone.  I am still running a low grade fever of 99.8 to 100.  I have no cold symptoms.  But I have had diareahea at the onset and it continues.  It has been about 36 hours.  Could this be a flu, something I cought from a cow,  or contact with people at church Sat. night where there was coughing, sneezing, and shaking hands? Do you think I am contagious?
