[Histonet] prion contaminated tissue processing

[Jackie M O'Connor]

You're right - "the last I heard" was about 15 years ago.   It's 
interesting to hear the that things we learned back then - will still kill 
us today.     Everything I know I learned from www.giantmicrobes.com.

think about it... if that were the case, things like BSE and CJD 
wouldn't be able to taint meat-processing equipment, which is generally 
about as awash in bleach as anything could be, at least once per shift.
