now would be a great time to stop eating meat...what with all the mad cows, deer, elks, sheep, birds, and now alligators (say what?) known to be infected...

that's right, alligators. Very very rarely are cold-blooded creatures affected by mammalian plagues; because cold-blooded creatures' bodies work significantly different than human bodies.

Facts about Chronic Wasting Disease/Mad Cow Disease/CJD:
* They are caused by renegade proteins termed prions
* When a prion bumps into a particular type of protein (those associated with nerve cells), the protein will become morphed into a prion.
* Your body has literally trillions of proteins and so it takes four or five years for this process to kill you
* A form of this disease is called scrappe and was isolated to British sheep since the Bubonic Plague of the 1300s; the sheep would uncontrollably scratch themselves all the way down to the bone, thus the word scratch in Old English.
* Prions make no distinction between species...
* No one really knows how many ways prions are spread
* They are known to be spread by eating the meat of infected animals ... and not just brain matter, but any part of the animal
* It only takes ONE prion to kill you ...
* Prions are NOT alive
* Prions cannot be destroyed by 1500 F temperature
* Prions cannot be destroyed with detergent
* Prions cannot be destroyed by freezing
* Prions are now thought to be spread by bodily fluids, such as sex
* Prions result from *extremely* unhealthy environments...such as factory farms and really really poluted environments
* No one has any idea how to eliminate prions
* Prions are treated more carefully than ebola in biolabs (ebola can be killed)
* Prions are 100% fatal


You should *definately* not eat ANY wild animal meat for a really really long time. I'd go so far as to say that if you are stranded any where near Colorado it would be much better to eat grass than animal meat, cuz u're really really risking your life there.

You can expect the government to downplay this ... Fact is our West Nile Virus is unique in many ways to any other West Nile Virus found in the world ... Fact is our CWD is unique in many ways to other wasting diseases (in that it affects sooo many diverse species) ... Fact is WNV and CWD appeared in the USA at around the same time (1997) ... It wouldn't be that far of a stretch to claim someone planted or even engineered them, especially if HPV and HIV were engineered...

Seeing that no one is reportedly any where near finding a cure, and that it could be transferred via bodily fluids, and since your precious government has not told you half of this, it would probably be both prudent and wise to get used to not drinking milk or eating cheese now ... milk is really easy, cheese is really hard since virtually every meal has it on it. not only will you not risk your life but not eating meat or drinking milk will significantly cut down the level of waste you are directly responsible for producing, making it that much less likely that new pathogens will arise in the future.
