[QUOTE="Michelle Pankonien, post: 39582, member: 147"] One point that should be considered is that like BSE in the cow vCJD is something that is detected only when tested for in brain tissue If you don't test for it you won't see it, howmany people have died that have been declared dead due to other causes, thus never tested and they may have actually been harboring the organism, but if there was no reason to test they would not test there may have in fact been many more cases in this country, but as we don't eat human brain tissue it is not a problem, and it is also not tranmitable from human to human, and the is currently no treatment that I am aware of It would be a huge burden on out health testing labs to test every dead body for the brain waisting DZ, and what would you do with the information More people die from drunk drivers, and are killed in car crashes and that is not as big a deal for some reason?!
