Whether eggs or fowl; wouldn't the virus be killed during the cooking process?

I think it's imperative we be careful where the products we buy originate from. If we have any qualms about the location, we should buy local or from someone we know. Mad Cow disease is not killed in the cooking process according to some articles I read about it.

I'm not going to quit using eggs - they are a staple in my house. I am, however, going to be more wary about buying them if they come from three states over or anywhere too far away from home. Raw eggs - yuckky!

By the same token, does Mad Cow Disease affect cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese and other milk products? Do we have any way of knowing that yet? Supposedly it involves only the sinewy and muscle meat of the cow, however, they also told us there were far less cows affected then they now say. What is known about this seems to be an ongoing thing.

Then again doesn't heat oft times increase growth from a viri?
