Bill Shear: You're very smart, you'll know. Has there been any noise
implicating blood meal (as there has been for bonemeal) in transmission of
that brain-rotting mad cow disease to humans?

I used to use bloodmeal all the time until I realized it was drawing dogs.
(Really!) Now I'm wondering if we need to suit up in biohazard gear to use
these old-fashioned organic helpers.
