In 2020, there were 24 reported cases and so far in 2021, there have been six cases. Bertrand Mayor Yvon Godin told the news site that residents are 'very, very worried' about the disease. 'Residents are anxious, they're asking 'Is it moose meat? Is it deer? Is it contagious?' We need to know, as fast as possible, what is causing this disease,' Godin said. As the investigation and research continues to figure out what the disease is, neurologist Dr Neil Cashman has offered some insight into what it's not. He says there's no evidence that points to it being a prion disease like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. There is no evidence, not a hint — even in the three autopsies that have been performed — of a human prion disease. That came as a surprise to me, frankly,' he told the CBC. WHAT IS MAD COW DISEASE? Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is a fatal neurological disease in cattle caused by an abnormal protein that destroys the brain and spinal cord. The disease was first identified in Great Britain in 1986, although research suggests the first infections may have spontaneously occurred in the 1970s. It is believed to be spread by feeding calves meat and bone meal contaminated with BSE. Nicknamed mad cow disease, bovine spongiform encephalopathy was first diagnosed in the 1980s Nicknamed mad cow disease, bovine spongiform encephalopathy was first diagnosed in the 1980s Humans can contract variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (vCJD) if beef products contaminated with central nervous system tissue from cattle infected with mad cow disease are eaten. There is no treatment and 177 people have been killed by the variant. There were 36,000 diagnosed cases of mad cow disease in Great Britain in 1992, leading to British beef exports being banned and dozens of people dying. In August 1996, a British coroner ruled that Peter Hall, a 20-year old vegetarian who died of vCJD, contracted the disease from eating beef burgers as a child. The verdict was the first to legally link a human death to mad cow disease. ADVERTISEMENT 'So in essence, this is something new, and we need to get on the stick and figure out what this is.' As Cashman and a team of experts continue to search for more answers, he says due to the cases being limited to certain regions, the illness 'fits with the notion of an environmental toxin'. 'A lot of scientific acumen will be required to pin it down to a cause,' he said, adding that it's uncertain when they will have a more concrete answer for the public. 'It's possible ongoing investigations will give us the cause in a week, or it's possible it will give us the cause in a year,' he said. Cashman encouraged locals to continue about their usual day-to-day routines and 'stay calm'. The outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) – a degenerative brain disease – in cattle in the mid-1990s decimated Britain’s livestock farming and led to the slaughter of 4.4 million animals. The human strain, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, killed more than 170 people in the UK.

Dr Thaddeus They They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth." Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake. Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.- X Files: Lost art of Forehead Sweat A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that. -SHANE- Jefferson Smith: You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that . - MR Smith Goes To Washington- to grow up remembering th My oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic has no expiration date!!!
