The clinical name for mad cow disease is bovine spongiform encephalitis, which is pretty darn descriptive. It is a disease that causes your brain to develop holes to the point where it resembles a sponge.
It actually does very little to your body. But it makes your brain a very sick organ, resulting in dementia, repetitive motion syndrome, halucination, memory loss, and all the other wonderful entertainments of Central Nervous System disease.

British Study Says Brain Patients Had Psychiatric Symptoms
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN . April 5, 1996
Many of the 10 British patients afflicted with a new variant of a fatal brain disease possibly linked to mad-cow disease had behavioral and emotional changes that initially fooled doctors into thinking they had psychiatric disorders, according to the first published scientific report about the cases. In nine of the patients, early symptoms included personality changes, depression, difficulty sleeping, withdrawal, fearfulness, and paranoia, said the report, being published on Saturday in The Lancet, an international journal issued in London. Several patients were referred by their doctors to a psychiatrist
One was that patients also developed motor abnormalities such as difficulty maintaining balance. A second was pain when a patient was touched on the face, arms, and legs. One patient had pain in the feet that persisted throughout the illness. Another factor was the rapid course to death, averaging about one year from onset of symptoms. more information

Melts your brain

The human form of mad cow disease is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), it is an infection one gets from eating infected brain tissue from a cow with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or brain, bone, or marrow from a sheep (known in sheep as scrapie). The infection is simply a mutated form of a protein called a prion. This prion travels to the brain and starts to lyse (destroy) every cell it comes into contact with. The brain starts to get large holes in it, the brain almost begins to look like a block of swiss cheese. There is no cure for this infection and lost brain tissue cannot be recovered.
