Ok, when you cook meat/poultry/fish, what precentage of germs does it kill?
also, is the Mad-Cow disease contagious to humans?
(couldn't find the word I was looking for) :] Essentially all. What little is left is of no consequence and most of that is neutralized by stomach acid.
Stopping the feeding of of cattle with meat and bone from other ruminants prevented the spread of the disease. There's virtually no risk to humans unless we eat brain or nerve tissue. There's no transmission through muscle meat or milk. I don't know about the germs. but the human form of mad cow disease is cjd (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). and there is a link |
