Health Tip: Food Sensitivities in Infants

June 23, 2006 08:47:53 PM PST

And introduce new foods one at a time and wait three to five days in between each new food.

Food sensitivities can manifest themselves in several ways. Your child may develop a rash, wheezing, diarrhea or vomiting.

But before you blame food for your infant's ailments, have your pediatrician rule out other possible causes.

Human 'Mad Cow' Could Cause Eventual Epidemic

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the human form of "mad cow disease," has an incubation period of half a century, and could cause an eventual epidemic, British researchers report.

In findings published in the June 24 issue of The Lancet, they looked at a similar disease -- linked to cannibalism -- to better understand the impact such an epidemic might have.

Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is caused by misfolded brain proteins called prions, which cows contract through contaminated feed. Humans can catch the human form of the disease, vCJD, by eating contaminated beef. So far, the fatal degenerative illness has infected about 160 people in the United Kingdom. More cases have been confirmed in six other countries, including the United States.

Now, researchers at University College London have determined, through the study of a similar disease, that BSE has an incubation period of more than 50 years before it actively becomes vCJD.

Patients in Papua New Guinea with a disease called kuru -- the only currently epidemic human prion disease -- were studied to determine how long the disease was dormant before symptoms appeared.

Kuru occurs in Papua New Guinea society because the disease was transmitted through cannibalism -- a common cultural practice up until 1960. By comparing the birth year in relation to the cessation of cannibalism in the community, the researchers were able to assess incubation periods of the disease.
