Try anthrax. And the Hendra Virus which is extremely virulent. But I use lots of horse manure and I don't bother composting it at all. |

Grin :-) Yep http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/m...ages/nipah.htm "The natural reservoir for Hendra virus is thought to be flying foxes" Hmmmm CDC. An American site. I wonder who it was that wrote: "A lot of such rubbish is written by Merkins, who manage to make Little Englanders look intelligent. You need to be able to judge which authors have Clue and which don't." ;-P But since you quote the CDC, their article also says "humans became ill after exposure to body fluids and excretions of horses infected with Hendra virus" "Only three human cases of Hendra virus disease have been recognized." At last count, three people have died of Hendra Virus. |

The Merkins I was referring to are a different class of Web-making pest, as undesirable as RSM. At last count, three people have died of Hendra Virus. Let's all start panicking now :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Do many people in the UK show signs of "Mad Cow Disease"? Regards, Nick Maclaren. -- Don't know about the UK, but have you looked at the subscribers of THIS newsgroup? Some certainly have queer ways. :-(( -- Mike The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association www.rneba.org.uk Luxury Self Catering on the Isle of Wight? www.shanklinmanormews.co.uk |

It was just one of those hyped-up extraordinarily rare diseases which "professors" who should know better (but obviously didn't) pontificated about in a purely self-publicising manner. The main pathogenic effect of MCD was to sell newspapers. -- Jeff |

The main pathogenic effect of MCD was to sell newspapers. That's utter tripe - to make an awful pun! The government had covered it up for so long, and its properties were such, that the 'worst plausible' scenario was that it would become the dominating cause of death in the UK and reduce the national life expectancy by a decade or more. Yes, THAT bad. And, precisely because of its properties, it wasn't possible to refine the estimates of its seriousness for several years. Nobody knew whether it would be negligible (as it seems to be) or approach the 'worst plausible' scenario. Even now, we aren't quite certain that it won't become a hundred times more serious than it is at present, though it is unlikely. Furthermore, such a disease had been predicted by the government's scientific advisors, who repeatedly refused to support relaxing the animal feed processing regulations. The Whitehall mandarins then replaced them by a more docile (and possibly more ignorant) set, relaxed the regulations and created a new disease. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

And I thought the CDC was a very strange choice of site given that the disease has not ever been in the US. The Merkins I was referring to are a different class of Web-making pest, as undesirable as RSM. Some American can be very severe pains in the posterior but then so are some of every nationality. At last count, three people have died of Hendra Virus. Let's all start panicking now :-) That is 100% death rate if you believe your cite of the CDC. Even Ebola is not that lethal. |

Even Ebola is not that lethal. As I said, the appropriate analysis is game theory. The cost of getting the Hendra Virus is death, but the probability of doing so is almost zero.

Regards, Nick Maclaren. Hendra virus (formerly called equine morbillivirus) is a member of the family Paramyxoviridae. Nipah virus, also a member of the family Paramyxoviridae, is related but not identical to Hendra virus. Funny, when I read this page, it says,"Two of the three human patients infected with Hendra virus died (Australia). During the Nipah virus disease outbreak in 1998-99 (Malaysia and Singapore), 257 patients were infected with the virus. About 40% of those patients who entered hospitals with serious nervous disease died from the illness." -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7843430.stm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI29wVQN8Go |
