SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE NEXT TIME YOU GO TO KISS SOMEONE
Scientists think they've worked out that animals spread prion diseases just by licking one another:
They found that the prions fanned out through facial nerves to reach the nose and tongue, accumulating in taste buds and other oral and nasal tissues (Journal of Virology, vol 80, p 4546).Jeez, kissing wearing one of these just ain't gonna be the same.

Rather goes against the conventional wisdom that these mad-cow diseases occur because 'evil' ignorant man breaks some rule of nature, unless there is some undiscovered law that says lickin' is unnatural
