First Irish mad cow disease
A man is being treated in a Dublin hospital with what is believed to be the first case of variant CJD to originate in the Republic of Ireland.
He is said to be in a serious condition and further tests are expected to be carried out.

The patient is understood to be a man in his early 20s

There were also new cases reported in Japan

I love how our media ignores the saftey of our food
