What is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a serious brain disorder caused by a misfolded protein called a prion, which is found in the brain and nerve cells.

In the United States, there are about 500 new cases of the disease in humans per year, according to the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Foundation.

The disease can occur in different ways, with most happening without a known reason, the health department said. It can also be inherited by family members, and in "very rare cases," it can be spread through certain medical exposures to infected brain or nervous tissue, or by eating infected beef.
"Its a prion disease yes like mad cow and also like rabies. It is caused by cannibalism or being passed from another infected. It'll drive you crazy before killing you and there is no known cure. Mad cow became prevalent after they started putting bovine bone meal in feed for cattle, yes they are feeding cows cows. Cannibalism!
