Dietary transmission of prion diseases has been documented experimentally in animals and in human beings who are cannibals. Several case reports have suggested the possibility of transmission of CJD by consumption of brains of wild animals. </strong></p><p><strong>These observations, together with recent concerns about the transmission of a unique encephalopathy in man believed to be related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy </strong></p><p><strong>led us to examine the possible association of eating squirrel brains with CJD in rural Kentucky, where eating squirrel and other small game is not uncommon. Culinary preparations include scrambling the brains with eggs or putting them in a meat and vegetable stew referred to as “burgoo”.</strong></p></blockquote><p></p>
