Interesting that after all these years they lift the ban due to a blood shortage. I have no idea how long this takes to manifest in the unfortunate people that do get mad cow’s disease. I lived in the UK off and on up to 1983 and went back on holidays in 1986. I do have health problems but I don’t believe that they have anything to do with this terrible disease. Blood is very thoroughly screened for disease and other things and I am sure something would have manifested by now in a person that was infected.
