I suffer greatly from foot in mouth disease. Usually, I open my mouth and jam both feet in up to the ankle, but I digress. The last I read about BSE was that it was coming under control with the elimination of refeeding, but it will be a few years before we know for sure. The number of human cases peaked a couple of years ago, and while it may take a while to eliminate it completely from the current herds, I figure the problem will be controlled in time. However, the vegetarians are milking the issue for all it's worth, and I predict in 20 years, it will be like Hanta Virus and Legionaire's Disease, something that we know about and we know it's bad and we know what to do and what not to do to avoid it.

It causes death in humans and cannot be killed by cooking at normal temperature. Hoof and Mouth disease is not transferrable to humans and should not be confused with the common human affliction Foot in Mouth disease. It is the former that may destroy the livestock industry in Europe and lead to turning lots of folks into vegetarians. We raise our own beef so I am not going to turn into a vegetarian.
