Anyone concerned about this? If you are, what did you substitute the blood meal with?
Blood Meal and Mad Cow Disease
- Thread starter HarleyJammer
- Start date
I'm not saying I'm correct but I look at getting Mad Cow from my weed about the same way I looked at the "thought" years ago of getting HIV from mosquito bites.
That being said I'm getting away from blood meal and I'm replacing it with a combination of Alfalfa Meal and Neem Meal.

I have worked in the medical field playing in all kinds of peoples various body fluids. We employ a system of Universal Precautions. Call me paranoid.
Excellent info. Thank you.
Thats what i thought as well. But how can we really be sure of the origin?
That's not paranoia, it's good practice, proper precautions. And so is not exposing yourself to blood meal which is possibly contaminated. I think there are few if any slaughter houses that keep cow and hog blood separate. It's whatever flows into the drain. Mad Cow affects many species, not just cattle. -granger

if your soil is truly organic than you need not worry about all these silly pathogens.they will not survive more than 24hr in a true organic mix. do a test take a vegging plant bury a thin layer of toilet paper an inch or 2 under top of soil in container dig up in 2 weeks if it is still intact your soil microbes are nil and it is not truly organic soil. the soil in an organic grow is just as alive as the plants growing out of it it.
It's a matter of exposure. Mixing BM into a soil, even if it's broken down quickly, requires you to handle it and most likely breath the dust, get it in your eyes, etc. I quit using BM 20 years ago mainly because it's just so nasty.
Worth noting is that the symptoms of MCD and Alzheimer's are identical. Cover up? Don't know, but there's a lot of money, jobs, ways of life at stake. Wouldn't surprise me. -granger

fish meal, alfalfa, neem cake, feather meal, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, compost. There's a ton of ways to pickup N besides blood meal. Keep in mind though that they are all different % of N and some are faster and some are slower release. To get the same amount of N out of alfalfa as blood, you would need to use 6x as much (approx.).
