Take care but please do some homework
The point being made by the first poster is regarding a combination human/bovine product, I am guessing????
The purpose of the poll was simply to ascertain reaction to using biological hemostatic devices derived via human or bovine sources, and impact of the scare.........if any.
Obviously prions are of concern human,bovine etc just as scrapie in sheep, and all potential leaps of severe viral animal too human transmission.
The Poll purpose is to examine the reaction to these threats.
