cannibalistic activities and was a form of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy, or TSE

TSE is not confined to Cannibalism, it affects all Species that eat Meat, including us. It very rarely causes a disease, 1 in a Mill.

Yeah, but isn't the problem that once TSE takes hold in a population that practices cannibalism that it spreads much more efficiently? ie. A single cow with mad cow disease can infect how many humans? When those individuals who contracted Mad Cow die, no harm is done to the rest of the population, right? Am I missing something here?
