Mad Cow Disease

According to a short article I just read, this disease can incubate in a person's body, without symptoms, for fifty years.

Yes, FIFTY YEARS!

If I wasn't a worry wart before, I certainly am now.

oh dont worry about mad cow disease - you have to eat infected cow meat to get it and governments around the world are vigilant about it and are stopping the spread of the disease. The other way is to eat other people's brains ... so are you into cannibalism? :D

Keep yourself healthy and your immune system strong and you will be mostly ok!
