Mad Cow Disease
June 25, 2006 · Filed Under Health Care
Mad cow disease is now found to have the ability to lay dormant in the human body for sixty years or more.
Researchers have been studying ex-cannibals who are now suffering from Kuru, which they say is similar to mad cow, they are both caused by what is called a prion.
The fear is that an epidemic may explode many decades from now. Most of the cows that were infected were consumed in the 90’s, while we were unaware of the danger.
Just another on our list of time bombs waiting for us in the future!

Mad cow disease is a disease that kills!! there is no cure for this uful disease. the prions infect your brain and your nervous system that just stop running after a while. The prions in your brain dig holes the shape of a five-pettled flower that is mainly around the part of your brain that controls your thoughs and movements. This causes multiple symptoms such as:
bad hand eye coordination.
