Re: Something scary about "animal" diseases- Praziquantel Send a noteboard - 17/08/2011 04:45:27 AM
Well, I have a friend in pharma research who read something terrifying lately. It seems that an unusually large number of people who are working with animal models of neurodegenerative diseases are coming down with those same diseases themselves. The implications of this are staggering- it means prions could be causing all kinds of things, and just exposure to animal CNS/PNS tissue is enough to be a risk factor.

Well that just about seals MY fate :P
