Anonymous Coward User ID: 77007920 United States 08/31/2019 06:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The disease is caused by proteins called prions. There are different types of prion. They 'unfold' into shapes which make up the tissues of the body. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77728495:MV80MDg3MzA1Xzc0MDk5MDMyX0In mad cow, and other prion diseases, a 'mis-shapen' prion infects the host and contaminates the already existing healthy prions, causing them to become 'mis-shapen' too. What you end up with is are blobs of tissue that no longer perform the function that they once did and continue to spread, replacing good tissue with bad. A bit like cancer for the nervous system. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77343322 Nor the US Yes, and servicemen/women who were stationed over there during the outbreak are also not allowed to donate blood. Although they aren't going to publicize this too loudly, there are studies that indicate a correlation between the prions involved in Mad Cow Disease and in Alzheimer's Disease...

You have to wonder with all these crazy people popping up if they are just saying it's "bath salts" or meth- when it really is mad cow - just to prevent mass panic. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2859657 United States 09/07/2019 06:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was a milkmaid for nearly 3 hours. You definitely have pre, poop and puss in your milk. Cows are sprayed as they give the milk attached to tubes..pee and poop is flying around the room. Betadine is applied to all nipples... So that's in there too. Most are infected and in bad shape. Completely unsanitary and disgusting. |
