Not a lot of difference between that and a session at Wetherspoons in Barry then?PsychoSerenity wrote:Alwasy thought this is a fucking scary thing to get though very unlickly. Your brain rotting from the inside molecule by molecule, and you only realise when the world stops making sense. Does it now?
In the U.S., last I heard, it was banned from use in cow feed, but not from use in chicken or pig feed.mistermack wrote:It's probably better if we don't.rEvolutionist wrote: So basically as long as we don't start cannibalising each other, we should be fine?
Having said that, I would like to know exactly what they are doing with the brains and nerve tissue from sheep and cows these days. It's not like industry to waste anything that they can make money from.
One would hope then that a very thorough research program has proved conclusively that prion infections cannot move to chickens or pigs...Warren Dew wrote:In the U.S., last I heard, it was banned from use in cow feed, but not from use in chicken or pig feed.mistermack wrote:It's probably better if we don't.rEvolutionist wrote: So basically as long as we don't start cannibalising each other, we should be fine?

This was based on lack of research on whether chickens or pigs could get any form of the disease. Note that these were the government regulations, so it just shows how bad our regulations are.JimC wrote:One would hope then that a very thorough research program has proved conclusively that prion infections cannot move to chickens or pigs...Warren Dew wrote:In the U.S., last I heard, it was banned from use in cow feed, but not from use in chicken or pig feed.mistermack wrote:It's probably better if we don't.rEvolutionist wrote: So basically as long as we don't start cannibalising each other, we should be fine?

But perhaps that would be too much like government interference for the US...
Chickens and pigs don't live long enough to incubate the disease, so it might be that they can carry some of the prions without any visible or detectable signs.Warren Dew wrote:This was based on lack of research on whether chickens or pigs could get any form of the disease.

The more relevant fact is that the U.S. cows from which the brains and nerve tissue come are likely free of prion disease, based on the disease having been detected in the U.S. only in one cow recently imported from Canada. Well, and in wild deer, which aren't allowed to enter the farm system, so only hunters have to worry about that.
