[QUOTE="blacksnake, post: 583689, member: 566"] There was quite an uproar a couple of years ago when one researcher came up with another theory for the transmoission of BSE in cattle in the UK. His theory was sort of the reverse of most other theories. Its been a while since I read it so I can't remember all of the specifics but essentially it said CJD was prevalent in people in India. Since India was a poor country and also most people are not buried when they die, many bodies were disposed of by throwing them in rivers. One of the sources of income for some of the poor people was to collect bones of all kinds of animals and sell for the production of bone meal. He theorized that many human bones were included in this process. This bone meal was shipped to the UK and used in animal feed and the prions caused the BSE in the cattle. I just googled and found this reference. Not sure if this is the exact one I saw or not.
