In a message dated 26/03/97 21:49:24, you write:
<< It is not known if mad cow disease, a spongiform encephalopathy (makes
holes in the brain) is in fact the same as the human Creutzfeld-Jacob
syndrome. Maybe, maybe not.
There was not one single proven case of a human getting the disease from
beef. >>
I'm not an expert, but I heard that there were at least two cases, although
evidence was somewhat circumstantial. Howver, I feel confident the UK beef is
now safe and some of the finest beef in the world! (but I prefer venison,
particularly from iris-eating deer!)
