  • 166 people have died from variant CJD
  • They all shared a certain gene
  • known as vCJD
  • somebody can incubate the disease for most of their life time

I feel that this is a very good article. This is scary because of the fact that CJD can mutate like that. The variant CJD, "known as CJD," was obtained from consuming BSE-infected dairy products. This makes me aware of all dairy products that my family buys.
