You're right. The thinking has to change.
But there are leading scientists at the NIH and other prestigious institutions that are saying what he says. And beef by-products are allowed into this country from the 30 countries who have BSE. Scientists are wondering if this is going to be a problem. The waiting period for BSE is 7 to 8 years.
Now I have told him that only 3 people have contracted BSE(mad cow) in the US in the history of the world and none of them were US nationals so it is believed that it was contracted elsewhere.
I agree that getting his mind onto other things might help but with OCD and Aspergers, change doesn't come easily to him.
I'm seeing my shrink this morning, so I'll try to pick her brain.
