Features: At the end of the last century, mad cow disease rapidly spread across Europe, affecting more than 20 countries and regions worldwide, forcing relevant countries to cull large herds of cattle infected with the disease. Mad cow disease also infected humans, and to date, it has claimed over 100 lives. Now, mad cow disease has reappeared in Japan, and the "mad cow panic" is threatening Asia. In the year of this century, the United States suffered unprecedented terrorist attacks. Anthrax, following the hijacking incidents, became the second wave of terrorism, causing the world to "fear the color pink" and even cross-border mail to be avoided as if it were cursed—all because of "anthrax."

Mad cow disease is indeed posing a real challenge to all of humanity, including you!
