A Brief History
On March 25, 1996, the European Union banned the import of beef and beef byproducts from Britain due to an outbreak of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as “Mad Cow Disease.”
Digging Deeper
Incurable and always fatal, Mad Cow Disease in humans is called Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, caused by a “misfolded” protein called a prion that attacks the brain. Most victims die in 13 months after suffering psychiatric and psychomotor problems and pain. Incubation of the disease may take 20 years or more!
Another horrible brain rotting disease is caused by Brain Eating Amoebas, which infects people when warm fresh water gets up the nose allowing the amoebas to infect the brain. Rare in the US, only about three Americans per year contract the dread disease. Almost always fatal, the patient suffers loss of brain function, hallucinations, and coma, followed by death within days or weeks.
