:bse What does it mean? It says BSE.

I googled BSE and came up with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) (http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/bse.html)

Is this an emoticon for Mad Caw Disease? :jump

BSE or mad cow is the animal type of slow virus disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the human form.

This might say it better.

"The prion diseases are a large group of related neurodegenerative conditions, which affect both animals and humans. Included are Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) in humans; bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, in cattle; chronic wasting disease (CWD) in mule deer and elk; and scrapie in sheep."
