Eldest kidlet and her hubby managed a duck club/preserve (600 acres) down in 
the Bay Area.  It was owned by 3 guys and the wife of one died of Mad Cow. 
The county, the docs, everyone danced around the thing and he had to hire a 
private outfit to go in with a court order to get some slides to do a 
diagnosis.  Then they tried to blame it on when they vacations in South 
America.  The only problem was at that time she was on a vegetarian kick. 
The still refused to put it on her death certificate even though he had 3 
labs verify the results, one in GB, one here and one in Canada.  She was 39 
or 40 and they insisted it was Alzheimer's!
