>Isn't it the precursor to mad cow disease????. Actually, not that funny. A
dear friend of mine recently succumbed to what CDC 'believes' was mad cow.
Scary stuff.

Here in the US? That would be the first case I believe. I can't give blood
anymore because I spent a year in England from '80-'81. I was a vegetarian at
the time, but ate cheese and eggs as I recall, and ate at Indian resturants
sometimes. The Red Cross says that stuff fried in beef fat, including
vegetables, etc. can transmit the disease. I hope I'm ok....it's a terrible
disease.,.

I haven't seen anything in the papers about people in the US with mad
cow disease, but I have read that feeding ground up, unmarketable
cows to other cows is common practice here. Since that seems to be
the practice that has created the situation in other countries, I
wonder whether it is either misdiagnosed or whether we are just in
denial.
