The message k

If the recent examination of pathological specimens is anything to go
by, you may have reason to eat those words.


The recent examination produced two positive results out of 12,000
cases AFAIR. It was made clear at the time, that when the agent is
identified as present, it does not necessarily lead to a case of nCJD.
In the meantime, nobody who has eaten meat/meat products in UK in the
last ten years is allowed to be a blood donor in the Netherlands.
Is the same true in UK and if not why not?
