My mother does some research on this- and it's believed cooking temperatures have no affect on this disease. I know in Colorado with chronic wasting disease (a variant of CJD and mad cow that affects elk and deer) affecting wildlife populations in various parts of the state, it's a really good idea to get your heads tested before consumption. A few years ago there were a couple of hunters in Wisconsin that came up with CJD that they suspect came from a CWD infected deer. My mother also worked with a gal that came up with CJD after researching it for thirty years...it's scary stuff!
