An abandoned factory "undoubtedly" contains the dormant and dangerous Mad Cow Disease that could threaten humans, scientists have warned.
Thruxted Mill was one of four sites in the UK authorised to dispose of carcasses infected with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) - commonly referred to as Mad Cow Disease - but has been abandoned for around 16 years.
Now, scientists are warning against housing developments on the land, claiming that the derelict seven-acre Kent complex may still pose a safety threat today.
