    I'm black listed for blood donation because I lived in Germany during a mad cow scare. I was two when we moved. He'll, my whole family can't donate.

    I'll be curious as to how this effects blood donation in Texas.

    I was scared of this ish when it came out in the 00s.

    It's pretty much a time bomb ticking in our minds at this point.

    No good thing came from cannibalism. Let's at least make sure our food processes is same enough to recogniE that.

    For any of you still freaking out about this (like myself), just remember that the victim was a frequent traveler to Europe and the Middle East. Apparently, he picked it up from there.

    The regulations for commercial cattle feeding and being accepted for slaughter are much, much tighter than they were a decade or so ago, when "mad cow" first became a known concern. Yall may already have it and you don't know, symptoms can take decades to manifest.

    And yeah, there's a variant of CJD in the elk and mule deer populations of the Western US, called "chronic wasting disease". It has not affected any whitetail or exotics in Texas.
