Supposedly it can take several years before MCD symptoms manifest itself so this case could easily be the tip of the iceburg. From what I have read the infective prion does only exist in nervous tissue so the infective abilities of different cuts of meats would differ depending on how much nervous tissue and cross contamination exists for each piece.

Lets not forget that the main reason the beef council sued Oprah was because she dared to disparage beef by discussing MCD and other beef concerns on one of her shows.

It certainly had the intended effect of keeping MCD from being publicly discussed.

Concidering Wayne's sensitivity to threats of lawsuits lets hope this thread doesn't get him into a tizzy.
