Hmmmm
well there is always
Mad Cow disease AKA Bovine Spongiform Encepalopathy
& its human equivalent
Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD), which we may develop from eating meat from infected cows...
if you are thinking about cow blood and humans with brain infections, then this disease may be of interest... particularly in Britain if I am not mistaken. .... but if there is no connection between the disease and the cows (or the disease came before the cows?) then maybe it doesn't really fit
As a part of our blood donor regulations in NSW (but really all over Australia, however health issues are state based regulations) if you lived in Britain for a period (I think in the 70's or 80's but cannot remember) then you are ineligible to give blood on the basis of risk of transmitting CJD
HA, re no 6. was only a joke lol.
I tried to add some sort of formula in order to understand what on earth you could turn these facts into...
actually CJD and cow blood would fit nicely into my scenario ...
hmmmmm?
if you aren't doing this story, I'll have to think up another combination...
