Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, a form of "mad cow" in humans, is mostly a genetic defect in humans. However you can "catch" it if you eat meat that is contaminated from exposure to brain tissues or spinal fluid infected with BSE prions, or from eating the brains or spinal column of an animal with the misfolded prion. But even that is very rare, and the chance of getting CJD is 1 in one million.
