<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They bury it on the back pages because they don't
want those who don't really know about it to get all excited and boycott beef or
anything else. What Phil has said is the distinction that too many do not
understand. There is no reason to stop eating anything. I also have never heard
that there is anything wrong with venison and I am an old person who has always
been round hunters. I bet some reporter got the story wrong. Just because it is
in print does not make it truth.</FONT></DIV>

<P><STRONG>There have been a number af articles on this subject over the
past few months. . . usually they're buried in the back pages. . . not
headline news. I found it interesting that brain-wasting disease
is not limited to just cows but just about every warm-blooded critter in
our food chain. In the case of the St.Maries woman, it was suggested
that her case might be due to venison. The article I read said
that hunters have known for years that there is a danger of getting ill
and dying. That surprised me because I never heard it
mentioned among friends who hunt. They never said a thing when
they wanted to share their pot roast!</STRONG></P>

to put to fine a point on it Dick, BSE is not TSE. You can get
<BR>>Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease from a whole lot of things, including
<BR>>simply being unlucky enough to get it genetically, but its not Mad
<BR>>Cow derived. All of the suspected cases in Idaho you
refer to are <BR>>for TSE, in people in later life and not the younger
folks who are <BR>>suspected of getting BSE.<BR>><BR>>It looks
like your AP article is alarmist in not pointing out that <BR>>the TSE
related Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is completely unrelated to
<BR>>Prion's found in Mad Cow's Disease. The people involved
are more <BR>>likely to have recieved human growth hormones, a cornea
transplant, <BR>>or some other procedure which made them vulnerable to
the kinds of <BR>>prion degenerative action which lead to their
deaths. You can even <BR>>note that two of those actually
checked were determined not to have <BR>>TSE at all, but more likely
suffered from some other form of <BR>>dementia, meaning that you only
have three confirmed actual cases, <BR>>four possible cases and two
which were not cases at all in your list <BR>>of nine. So of
the three, which had a a possible link to genetic <BR>>CJD or the other
two possible forms?<BR>><BR>>So perhaps, since the CDC does not
think that its related to <BR>>anything is reason to assume that
reality is that its only three <BR>>cases and that those three cases
are typical of mormative TSE <BR>>related CJD? That sems
most likely and therefore not cause to go on <BR>>an anti-Beef
campaign.<BR>><BR>>Phil
