I was a US service member in Germany 1987-90. Years later while working at a plasma center I learned of my permanent disqualification from any kind of donation due to my possible exposure to Jakob-Kreutzfield disease (mad cow /BSE/prions).
Is this likely to ever be updated, or is our knowledge so limited and the risk too high? Need I be eternally vigilant against my brain turning into a sponge?

To reiterate, as on your last post, a hugely kind, insightful Comment.
Many thanks!
