Could it be that these patients had a sore throat and they were just unlucky that they ate a sausage or a meat pie that had a lot of BSE brain associated with it? Professor Stephen DeArmond, UCSF The theory has been put forward by a leading American scientist, Professor Stephen DeArmond, from the University of California at San Francisco. He said it could explain why relatively few people had been struck down with the illness so far and why so many of those who had were under the age of 35. British researchers studying vCJD said the theory was plausible but stressed there was no experimental data to support it.

33. Sore Throat FOR sore throat. NATURAL TREATMENT AND COMFORT MEASURES. This is the safest, leastexpensive and probably the most effective treatment of a sore throat. http://www.pitt.edu/~cjm6/scthroat.html

FOR SORE THROAT NATURAL TREATMENT AND COMFORT MEASURES GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER. It help soothe the irritated throat and reduces swelling in the tissues. This is the safest, least expensive and probably the most effective treatment of a sore throat. Mix 1/2 tsp. of salt to an 8 oz. cup of warm water. Dissolve it completely. Gargle every 3 - 4 hours. SIPPING WARM LIQUIDS like hot tea or hot chicken soup broth can soothe the throat, and the heat increases the circulation to the throat to promote healing. The saltiness of the soup also helps to reduce swelling, much like a salt water gargle. HARD CANDY can also soothe and lubricate your throat. REST YOUR VOICE. Avoid using your voice for long periods, and refrain from screaming or yelling. STOP SMOKING or at least cut down. Cigarette smoking may cause a sore throat, or may aggravate your symptoms by causing further throat irritation. HUMIDITY will keep your throat moist and more comfortable. It can relieve a raw, dry, scratchy sore throat. Hot, dry air will aggravate it. So, turn down the thermostat, use a vaporizer if you have one, place a pan of water by the heat vent, or turn on a hot shower to create steam. MEDICATIONS CHERRY SORE THROAT LOZENGES contain Benzocaine which numbs the throat tissues temporarily and make swallowing easier.

Abstract from The Cochrane Library , Issue 1, 2003 Click here to order the full review Antibiotics for sore throat (Cochrane Review) Del Mar CB, Glasziou PP, Spinks AB ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 28 June 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Sore throat is a very common reason for people to attend for medical care. It is a disease that remits spontaneously, that is, 'cure' is not dependent on treatment. Nonetheless primary care doctors commonly prescribe antibiotics for sore throat and other upper respiratory tract infections. Objectives: To assess the benefits of antibiotics in the management of sore throat. Search strategy: Systematic search of the literature from 1945 to 1999, using electronic searches of MEDLINE (using the keywords, "pharyngitis", "sore throat" and "tonsillitis") after 1966, the Cochrane Library, the Cochrane collection of hand-searched trials, and the reference sections of the articles identified. Abstracts of identified articles were used to determine which studies were trials. Selection criteria: Trials of antibiotic against control with either measures of the typical symptoms (throat soreness, headache or fever), or complications (suppurative and non-suppurative) of sore throat.
