I don't know, but I AM getting sick just reading thru this thread..

My relatives eat TRIPE, which is the lining cow's stomach... I suppose that is safe?

I'm not touching a hot dog, or potted meat, or spam..or even a T-Bone steak cut because it's supposed to be closest to the contamination area of the cow.

They say the brain and spinal cord are the most dangerous which may mean that BSE is predominant in the nervous system.

I'm eating steak and will continue to do so. Since BSE takes 20 years to show up, what's the sense stopping eating beef now? We may already have it.

I don't go the track or casino or buy lottery tickets, but subtract the numbers of beef stock destroyed in UK with the number of human victims and you'll realize you have better odds of winning the lottery than getting Mad Cow.

So eat steak and buy lottery tickets. If you win the lottery buy your own herd.

Spam should be OK. It's made of pork, not beef.
