BREAKING NEWS: FOX NEWS (INSIDER) Rare and Fatal Brain-Eating Disease May Have Spread to Multiple States There are new concerns over a strange and rare brain disease after the death of a brain surgery patient. Public health officials are now concerned that the disease may have spread to multiple states through contaminated surgical equipment. A neurosurgery patient at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire was suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Other patients are at risk because the infectious disease that causes sporadic CJD is not destroyed by the standard sterilization process mandated at hospitals. The patient who died had surgery in April and died in August. Symptoms of the extremely dangerous disease include behavior changes, memory loss, and impaired coordination. There is no treatment, cure, or screening test for the disease.
