If you had strange, progressive neurologic symptoms, you could speak with your doctor about going to a neurologist for careful examination and testing. However, the odds of you being infected with the BSE prion is very very small, as there are very few cases of BSE in cattle around the world and the human population has not been exposed to them in years.

Signs of vCJD (the human version of BSE) include weakness, particularly of just one limb or a part of the body; difficulty with coordinating activities like walking or writing; jumbled thoughts or speech; changes in personality such as becoming more aggressive or becoming more passive and docile; loss of logical reasoning skills or abstract conceptualization; etc.
