[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4711336, member: 10019"] It was once thought that Mad Cow didn’t jump species barriers to humans, then along came vCJD. Which the direct link to this diseases is that those infected lived in a region with BSE and all expressed the disease approximately 10 years later. On a better note, Scrapie (prion in sheep) has been around since the 1700’s. Not one single case of humans contracting it has been discovered, albeit a lab test in mice say it is indeed possible. I addition, it’s extremely likely mad cow came from Scrapie. So how do I interpret this? Assuming CWD cannot jump the human species barrier (like scrapie) and using it the above information as my logic I hope CWD doesn’t jump to another animal (say wild hogs or domestic livestock) then act as a secondary host for us to contract it, like Mad Cow disease. Cliff Notes; Scrapie=Mad Cow=vCJD Let’s hope CWD doesn’t make its way into the above equation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
