Crutchfield Jacobs

Answer 4

It is called Creutzfeld-Jacob Syndrome. It is indeed related to the BSE that we have heard so much about in the past few years.
It is a rare and fatal human neurodegenerative condition that degenerates the brain, makes it kind of mushy or spongy.
Early in the illness, patients usually experience psychiatric symptoms, which most commonly take the form of depression or, less often, a schizophrenia-like psychosis. Unusual sensory symptoms, such as "stickiness" of the skin, have been experienced by half of the cases early in the illness. Neurological signs, including unsteadiness, difficulty walking and involuntary movements, develop as the illness progresses and, by the time of death, patients become completely immobile and mute.
The most likely route of exposure was through meat from cows, not fluid transfer. It mainly affects the brain and spinal cord of clinically ill animals over two years of age, it doesn't transfer through the muscle meat. Anything around the organs and the spine (like tenderloin) are more affected because it is a neurological disease.

I HAVE TO ADD THIS:
OH YES IT CAN, why do you think they tell you that none of the meat has entered into the food chain. We tank these animals in hydro-chloric acid. We won't even give them back to the farmer to feed to his dogs. Why have they imposed such restrictions on just muscle meat coming into the states? Nothing with bone in goes through the border because of the minute possibility of it being infected.

Answer 5

Creutfeldt Jacob's syndrome is the human equivalent of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. Classic CJD IS NOT MAD COW DISEASE! You cannot contract Classic Creutzfeld-Jacob from infected cow meat. It occurs naturally in humans at a rate of 1/1,000,000 births. However, new variant CJD is the human form of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. Check out this website, it sums everything up nicely.

Answer 6

It is a disorder that is more common from the descendants of the Azchanzi Jews (Sorry about the spelling) that attacks the brain similar to mad cow disease. This is a common question when giving blood because the blood banks do not want this passed around the community.
