SV: Re: Culturing CWD using equipment (was CWD)

Tony:

Yah- I agree- hard to tell when you're not the one preparing the

slide.. although it's an artifact of blood that's drying - and I

think thats' the method alot of (lay) people use.. (whole blood,

unstained).

SO it could be either- but in the case of the poster- if 80% of the

cells look this way - if it were disease, I would think they would

not be able to even sit at a computer...

it could be an artifact of the blood drying.

(Just throwing another possibility out there).
