Re: Mad Cow disease, BSE; Justice is served.




The trouble with this correspondence is that everybody seems to have a
view on BSE but few if any of the contributors are sufficiently
knowledgeable to have a fully informed opinion. The latest theory
(supported by experimental evidence - see The Observer 21/4/96) is that
the disease is harboured and spread by hay mites - so that whatever you
do as regards killing off infected or suspect animals, the hay mites
will spread the disease to any replacement stock!! Rather a worrying
scenario - what do we do if it's true!?
