Best Answer

Currently your risk of getting variant Creutzfeld-Jacobs Disease (vCJD, the human result of infection with a BSE prion) is hovering around zero. Infectious BSE has been all but eradicated in the world; the recent cases of BSE have been atypical (non-infectious) variants that are expected to spontaneously occur in a few cattle in a normal cattle population.

Do only cows get mad cow disease?

Yes, in a manner of speaking. Mad Cow Disease is a nickname for a more harder-to-pronounce name of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Most believe that Mad Cow Disease also applies to humans, but this is a bit of a problem: humans are not cows. Yes they are capable of getting the variant form of this neurologically degrading disease, but that doesn't automatically entitle them to suddenly turn into a cow that is mad. Seriously, humans don't exactly get "Mad Cow Disease." What they do get is Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease. The chances of getting this disease is 1 in 10 billion, and only from contaminated beef or infected brain matter and spinal column, bone marrow, and the eyes.
