I have anxiety and fear of dying from vcjd (mad cow) from consuming british candies. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Before you become : Too worked up: were any of these candies recalled? Were these candies in any way connected with cows that suffered from this disease? There is a german candy called mamba that contain beef-based gelatin - which was recalled in poland. Know of no cases of mad cow disease related to that. Check your facts - before you get spun up.
