Here is some information about this Diease. Basically, it is an illness caused by an organism that is damaging delicate tissues of the brain.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

I acquired some knowledge of this disease, unfortunately,
because I had a friend die of it last August.
It is a variation of what in cows/sheep is called Mad Cow Disease. My friend had been abroad in Europe. For about six months, she
went through horrible
seizures & high fevers never really gaining consciousness.
It wasn't till the autopsy that it was determined that she
had succumbed from vCJ.
But as the given website states, thankfully, this is an
extremely rare disease.

yes, it is an extremly rare disease, but my great uncle has it. and there is nothing I can do.
