Dear Anyone:  I've heard a rumor through the grapevine that 3 cases of
spongiform encephalopathy have been diagnosed in young (teenage) humans in the
U.K.  There is some mention of possible links to the ingestion of unpasteurized
milk and bovine brains by two of these patients.  The report is supposed to be
in Lancet.  Anyone have a reference or can confirm?  Thank you in advance, Hana
