Jeez, boats aren't the only thing you know nothing about.

Can't you get anyone to read it to you?

The US FDA very clearly states the additional means of exposure and
their sources.

You also seem to be ignorant fo the fact that cooking has no effect
whatsoever on the prions.

I don't know about you but I don't eat that crap
let alone eat it raw. I eat all my beef well done

Is it a hobby of yours to post such ignorant crap? I didn't think ther
was anything that you knew less about than nautical matters but every
day you give us a glimpse of the depths of your ignorance.

Also check out "chronic wasting disease" for big game animals.
