You are wrong to imply that CJD is still a big problem in Europe. Nervous tissue is now removed from carcasses in the UK and prob most of Europe. In mad cow disease if is the nervous tissue that carries the prions that cause the problem. This problem is under control now as a result of the scare that we had a few years ago......
We have also toughened up on E. coli. The inspection procedures have been toughened up considerably to avoid feaces infected meat. Even so, E.coli dies at temperatures above 37C so if you cook the meat correctly the E.coli isnt a problem.
What is the problem with human blood?? Nothing I can think of would survive good cooking. Blood is just a mixture of water, proteins, other nutrients and cells.....whether its human blood or animal blood is irrelevant at this level.
