sorry, but I can't recall the period when this happened.

This is long, but I've tried to cover everything.

Many years ago, my grandparents lived in Scotland, and there was a cow displaying exactly the same symptoms as those seen on the box with BSE. In Scotland they took care of the problem very quickly though. They called it Shudders.
Whether these two diseases are the same or not I don't know. However, the whole problem began while I was at college, probably in the 80's. I saw a notice somebody had pinned to the wall saying that there was a very serious health threat on its way. Animal feed has been made from other animals for a long time, which had always been heat treated to kill all the pathogens that may be present. The UK government at the time, which really went out of its way to look after rich people, decided that the farm industry could increase their profit margins by reducing the heat treatment applied to feed products. There were many very strong warnings from several very highly qualified biologists, micro biologists etc sent to the government following this suggestion. The government chose to completely ignore all of them and permitted the reduction in heat treatment to go ahead. Then, in 1986, cattle started getting unwell with a new disease. Prions, which had previously been destroyed by the heat treatment, were now entering the food chain. Sheep suffer a disease called Scrapie, which doesn't effect humans at all. It is suspected that Scrapie might be the source of the prions. The disease, BSE, started in England. The first human deaths from it were in a small village called Queniborough in Leicestershire in 1986.

HIV came after this as well. Now that is curious!
