Mad Cow Is Not A Pandemic
And never will be. Eating a carrier is an action that can easily be avoided once the problem is known. Strange diseases such as this and opportunistic infections are why the risk can't be zero. Such risks (as well as much more dangerous ones) can be easily be contained using standard infectious disease protocols and due not in any way support BD/s nightmare scenarios. I'm sure you realize that Nick, it's just that when you don't make such points there are others that are likely to misinterpret your comments.
