Okay, this might sound really strange...But what are the chances of contracting Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (like mad cow's) from IViG treatments? Does anyone know? I'm starting IViG this next Wed., and am considering cancelling it just because the thought of contracting this disease is terrifying!

I know I'm being a bit paranoid, but the idea of having to have a blood transfusion has always freaked me out...I had plasma exchanges, but from what I understand, there is no risk of contracting any diseases through this process...

Please let me know!

Thanks

Nicky
