www.mad-cow.org/~tom/scrapie_human.htmlResearchers have been studying scrapie for many years to identify the specific agent that causes it. The agent is smaller than the smallest known virus and has not been identified to date. To complicate matters further, this disease agent is extremely resistant to heat and ultraviolent irradiation as well as to various disinfectants--the common means of destroying pathogens. In its host, the agent elicits no inflammatory or specific immune response. Then we just thought lets test it on Joe Public and see what happens (bit of sarcasm there but probably true)
