Symptoms of Mad Cow Disease
What Are the Symptoms Of Mad Cow Disease?
The symptoms of mad cow disease need to be clarified because there are types of this disease that are not linked at all to humans eating infected beef. This condition may be called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). When there is perhaps a tenuous link between mad cow and humans eating infected cows, the condition is called vCJD or a variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob. Most at risk are those who have had repeated exposure to infected beef, or who have had transplants or taken medications that might have include some bovine matter.
Other parts of the body start to fail too, considering the heart. Price to the brain becomes so substantial that finally it can do little to sustain the body and coma is likely. The respiratory system commonly fails at this point, and death is often from pneumonia or other lung and bronchial infections. The steady march of these devastating symptoms of mad cow disease take an average of seven years, and are incredibly difficult for the person losing all function and for that person’s family to undergo.
