I wonder if that cow got it from somewhere else, or if it sporadically developed the disease.

I am indefinitely deferred from donating blood because I lived in Spain for three years. As I tell people, even though I’m fine, anyone who gets my blood will get mad cow disease.

Probably just a hugely fat communist politician acting like a mad cow. Happens all the time.

“I am indefinitely deferred from donating blood because I lived in Spain for three years.”

I envy you. I love Spain. My son walked for the first time in Catalonia. Where were you in Spain?

[nickcarraway]

Are you allowed to give blood? Those of us who lived in U.K. can’t.

Same here for living in the UK. Had a close friend die from it. It was horrible,

I call it - having a case of the ‘moo’.

Yep - was in Italy from ‘78 thru Aug of ‘80 - some years later was told I couldn’t donate blood because of Mad Cow and the cutoff for being back was something like July of ‘80....yet they think it’s fine for active butt pounders to donate - incredible.
