Um, thank you, I think. :) You know it really is
good of you to not mind doing the human
testing of it.

how stupid and irrational can you get
All through the world people have been eating sheep, including tissue with
nervous system cells, for god alone knows how long.
If it is assumed that BSE jumped from sheep to cattle in the 1980s then in
the UK we have been eating them for nearly a generation.
There are still less than 20 cases of nvCJD a year, the number is still
falling, and in the web page so carefully posted by lotus/pearl, the numbers
of dementia cases are rising only in line with the aging population
so what is there to be hysterical about?

Prion diseases are known for their long dormancy.
I wouldn't trust them just yet.

But we know the length of the dormancy, look at the dates of on set and the
current tailing off. They have even done the tests on tissues from the
living, to check for dormancy
