Go to www.cdc.gov and do a search for CJD.  It will give you some info. but
it will also direct you to the WHO site for detailed information.

Hi Histonetters,
I would like to know the proper storage and disposal for CJD (POSITIVE)
INFECTED BRAIN.??
I work in a Neuropath lab and i need things in black & white when it comes
to letting the fellows know what to do. One of the fellows was actually
going to just store it in a plastic zip-lock bag in the lab !!! Please
help!!!
thanks Nancy Anacko
