It is caused by a prion (which is a specific form of protein). It is characterized by spongiform change caused by intracellular vacuoles in the neurons and glia. It is infectious and transmissible. The prion also cannot be killed even by heat (unless it's very very high) (because it's not a virus or bacteria). The patients develop progressive dementia. You get it by using bovine products.

Do your research on the Internet.

It's believed to be a an infectious protein (a prion) originally picked up from the soil. The prion cause brain rot. It gets past along in mass when cow brains and the spinal cord are fed back to other cows, other animals (such as pigs in the U.S.) or eatten by humans (yes, brains are a dish, especially in Europe such as France and the spinal column is where beef flavoring comes from in the U.S.). The symptom is usually death in animals as they are killed before symptoms develop.

Here are the symptoms for humans and non slaughtered cows:

It DOES lose some thing in having to be typed, edited, and censored, which is simply too dangerous, motive I inspiration it used to be humorous... With the correct vocals and timing it could be even funnier... Will take a look at it on peers later in these days... In the interim, you get... ...a STAR...! for attempt.
