what make mad cow disease dangerous

Mad Cow disease affects the brain and spinal cord of the cattle. the disease is cause by prions which are abnormally folded proteins. prions will cause a domino effect, which means one prion will cause the proteins nearby to also fold in a similar shape. this will affect the nervous system of the host. After a peroid of time, it causes the brain of a cow or a human being to turn into a large mass of folded proteins, which is sometimes called Mad Cow mush.
The strange thing about prions are that they are contagious, which means that when a human consumes infected brain or spinal cord tissues, the human will get infected too. The problem is cooking or processing will not destroy the prions as they are not living microorganisms or viruses. they are just folded proteins. The only way is to not use the brain or the spinal cord of the cattle in food
