Anyone remember the BSE panic? For a while I was quite scared because there was a brief period when infected meat, from spines I think, got into the human foodchain, giving people variant CJD. Throughout that period I was a despatch rider, eating about 4 Big Macs per week. The incubation period may be forever. By 2013 177 people had had vCJD and 1 in 2,000 people were carrying the proteins, whatever that means. https://www.bmj.com/press-releases/2013/10/14/researchers-estimate-one-2000-people-uk-carry-variant-cjd-proteins
