mad cow

Common name for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), a cattle disease that causes the brain to waste away. It takes about 4-7 years for cattle to show symptoms of the disease after being exposed to it, but once symptoms become visible the cattle die within weeks. One way this disease is spread is by feeding the meat from infected cattle to other cattle (meat from infected sheep may also cause the disease). OTHER ANIMALS...IE, FISH CAN NOT GET THIS DISEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
