Step-by-step explanation:

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a variant for mad cow disease in human. Unfortunately there is no cure and everyone who had contracted the disease all died. There is not even a test to confirm it. It can only be confirmed by a brain biopsy or an exam of brain tissue AFTER death.
