Some other diseases Bos taurus experience are East Coast Fever (ECF) which is an acute, tick-borne disease causing high rates of morbidity and mortality in cattle, and Anaplasmosis which is a vector-borne, infectious blood disease.
To put it in perspective for a friend, see how high you can count during that time. Believe it or not, there actually have been people who have held their breath for even longer than 11 minutes, though. The Guinness Book of World Records has a special category for holding your breath underwater.
The current record for pure breath-holding is 22 minutes, set by Stig Severinson in May of last year. And you probably remember David Blaine sitting in a bubble for 17 minutes 4 seconds. That is far longer than the 30 or 40 seconds most of us can hold for, to a really phenomenal degree.he basic method is what you'd think it is: hold your breath for as long as you can, exhale slowly, and repeat. (More than a few reps of this in a single session can be harmful.) The other main concern is learning how to relax.
