There are a variety of TSE (Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies),
I didn't feel that a comprehensive list was necessary, as the news
currently focuses on Mad Cow Disease.

I guess that if a jet engine had this disease, it would have Mad Cowl
Disease.

Anyway, I am concerned about the Chronic Wasting Disease that seems to
be spreading among the deer, antelope, and similar species in America
(and elsewhere I'm sure). Being that we commonly don't eat felines (stay
away from Chinese Resturants), but we do eat these game animals, the
possibility of transmission is enhanced. Couple this with the fact that
many hunters surrender their game to meat processors of unknown
reliability (yes, yes, I'm sure that they trust them regarding common
health issues, but are the processors careful enough to diminish the
possibility of spreading the prion if it does exist?)

Mode of transmission of the conventional CJD included contact with any
brain tissue and or cerebrospinal fluids. There was even concern that
contact tonometry during eye exams might spread the prion.

DA,

Besides "MAD COW DISEASE" Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) there
is also "El GATO LOCO DISEASE" Feline Spongiform Encephalopathy (FSE).

Maybe we should 'eliminate' all stray Cats and "Test" all Cat Owners
over the age of 60 Years for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

CATS (Felines) ARE EVERYWHERE !

The incident of Human - Feline Interaction is much greater then the
Bovine - Human Interaction.

The 'potential' for CATS being the 'source' of many cases of Human
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is something that should be Studied and
Explored.

Exposing your Children and Grandchildren to Cats may be as BAD
as Second Hand Smoking.

Giving a Child a CAT as a pet may be a 40 Year (Time Delayed)
"Death Sentence".

WHATS IN CAT FOOD? - Dead Cows and Sheep (Dropped Animals) the
'suspected' "Source" of MAD COW DISEASE in Cattle and Humans.

JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT !
