Mental Health Update

On a trip to Portugal, this blogger avoid beef that may be tainted with Mad Cow Disease.

I used to read all kinds of research on bovine spongiform encephalopathy - BSE or mad cow disease - and one of the places where you can find information is on the cdc website. The cdc maintains a list of countries and the results of their monitoring programs. At some point I read about Portugal and how they have had quite a few positive tests and that their monitoring program is too under funded to be effective. While in the UK I have avoided beef to avoid bse and I certainly wasn’t going to stop being paranoid in Portugal so I avoided it there as well.
