A rare, incurable brain disorder similar to "mad cow disease" has claimed two lives in Oregon, alarming health officials. Three cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rapidly progressing illness that leads to dementia and death, have been reported in the state over the past eight months.
Health officials confirmed that the cases were reported in Hood River County, with one confirmed and two probable diagnoses of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
