I blew this argument out of the water about a week ago. Do I have to do
it again? Remember that UK cattle were not treated from 1982 onwards,
the products are used elsewhere in much higher amounts and Ireland
eradicated warble in exactly the same way some five years earlier and
didn't have a problem with BSE. It's total rubbish with no foundation.
Give me strength!
