A member asked:

I hate taking medicine. what can i do to treat mad cow disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: Unfortunately, mad cow disease, a prion disease, has no cure and no real treatment to slow it's progression. The treatments used are for symptoms, such as aggression, delusions, insomnia, etc. Plus, supportive care for daily activities becomes more and more necessary as the illness advances.
