[MD] dualism

[ian glendinning]

Dan, you said
"Here a good percentage (well over half) of deer are infected with prion
disease (mad cow) ..."

Huh ? what ? how ?
I sincerely doubt it. I'm hard pushed to think of any possible mechanism.
Do you have any evidence or reference to that remark ?
(Or are we just talking the generic concept of a prion disease, and if
so in what sense are we using the word "infected" ?)

Educate me.
