Squirrel brains eater in ‘mad cow’ terror
A MAN developed mad cow disease after he ate SQUIRREL BRAINS.
The 61-year-old was taken to hospital after experiencing a decline in his thinking abilities and losing touch with reality.
A scan of the man’s head revealed symptoms similar to those in people with variant CreutzfeldtJakob disease (vCJD).
The fatal brain condition, known as mad cow disease, has long been associated with contaminated beef.
But in this case, the man, from Rochester, New York, had another dietary habit that could have raised his risk for vCJD – he liked to eat squirrel brains. SULTRY Shione Cooper says she’s “hooked” on being nude as often as she can.
The 31-year-old confessed to tearing off her clothes any chance she can get.
Art gallery worker Shione, whose family hail from the Czech capital of Prague, said from her adopted home in Chelsea, west London: “I’m obviously happy taking my clothes off.
“It’s always great in the summer because you can get an all-over tan.
“But it’s autumn I like most, because that’s when you can feel the elements touching your skin.”
Shione, who sports 40F boobs, added: “When there’s a flutter of slightly chilly autumnal air between your bare thighs, it makes your fanny tingle and you feel alive.
“I enjoy lying on my balcony, nude, knowing there are people nearby probably equally enjoying the sight of me.
“Does it embarrass me? No! I was born naked, I will die naked, and I’d love to spend every moment in between exactly the same.
“Nudity is not a problem in my home country and it shouldn’t be a problem here in the UK.” SKINNY-DIPPER: Beeb star Kate and naked (below) GETTING nude in public is on the rise in the UK – and it’s all thanks to pretty BBC TV presenter Kate Humble. The 49-year-old surprised viewers when she plunged naked into a freezing lake for a show set in Wales earlier this year. Kate and her sheepdog Teg were travelling around Wales for BBC2 series Off The Beaten Track when they stopped to join artist Natasha Brooks, who loves to swim naked. And since the broadcast British Naturism said it’s seen a boost in membership for the first time in 15 years. Its numbers are up 10 per cent this year, with the increase also credited to a shift in approach away from behind-closed-doors bashes to public outings.
Naked yoga and running classes are also said to have helped encourage newcomers as well as outdoor festivals such as Nudefest and Nudestock.
Andrew Welch, British Naturism’s commercial manager, claimed prudish attitudes towards nudity were disappearing while businesses have become increasingly open to hosting their own bare-all events.
Andrew said: “At the moment we are around 8,900 members. This is the first time our membership has been rising for the last 15 years.
‘‘There is much less of a taboo when it comes to naturism. In the past, if you told people you were a naturist there would be raised eyebrows, but now people are much more aware of what it is.
‘‘Historically folk have viewed us with ‘who are these people walking around with their bits out’.”
