"Prions, the misfolded proteins that are widely believed to cause brain-wasting diseases, have been found in sheep muscle, scientists announced Sunday.
"But the scientists emphasized that the finding did not mean that lamb or mutton posed a danger to humans."
Wonder how long it'll be before they discover that this *does* pose a danger to humans.
