[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 333451, member: 97"] You are talking about Dr. Prusiner-- the fellow that discovered the prion, also....And that is his theory on how BSE developed... But his organophosphates theory doesn't answer the question of where all the other TSE's came from- like kuru in humans in New Guinea, and Chronic Wasting Disease in deer and elk in the US.... BSE didn't show up in Europe and England until after they lowered their rendering temperatures- and were rendering cattle parts and scrapie infected sheep into cattle feed-- which has led many to believe it developed from the scrapie mutating..... But they are all theories.... And definitely there still are way too many unanswered questions to begin weaking our safeguards and firewalls that were put in place to protect the US consumer and US cattle herd.... [/QUOTE]
