• Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the human equivallent of Mad Cow disease ( bovine spongiform encepholopathy ). I am not able to give blood because I was in England during the 1980's for more than 3 months, and the American Red Cross is concerned about someone perhaps contracting the disease from beef eaten during that period. I have no signs of the disease, I just noted it here because I am always forgetting the name of it.
