In the case of the St.Maries woman, it <BR>>>>was suggested that her case might be due to venison. The article <BR>>>>I read said that hunters have known for years that there is a <BR>>>>danger of getting ill and dying.

share their pot roast!<BR>>>><BR>>>>Ellen<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>>From: "Phil Nisbet" <pcnisbet1@hotmail.com><BR>>>>To: vision2020@moscow.com<BR>>>>Subject: [Vision2020] 9 Cases of Brain-Wasting Disease in Idaho<BR>>>>Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2005 08:24:56 -0700<BR>>>> >http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/cjd/detail_cjd.htm<BR>>>> ><BR>>>> >Not to put to fine a point on it Dick, BSE is not TSE.
