A member asked:
Is there really a mad cow disease or just a nice way of saying demented?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It exists: There are lots of people with dementia, and almost none with mad cow disease. It does exist, but is extraordinarily rare. But if you get demented and want to blame it on a mad cow, i promise not to tell.
