Mpiazza000, the short answer to your question is that it depends where you live/have lived.

In my case I lived in the UK when the BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) story was unfolding and ate beef there.

Because of that I am not allowed to donate blood here. That is something which I accept though I lived in the UK more than two decades ago - the chances that I am infected with the BSE prion are extremely small.

I wonder about the quantitative risk:benefit analysis involved in this decision.
