SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 20: A Grey-Headed Flying Fox flies through the air at the Royal Botanic Gardens March 20, 2008 in Sydney, Australia. Flying Foxes, or fruit bats, have taken up permanent roosts in the Botanic Gardens, causing major damage to heritage trees in the park. The Royal Botanic Gardens has begun a program to deter the flying foxes from roosting, as there are now some 11,000 bats roosting in the park. Deterents include noise to disturb sleep patterns, plastic bags attached to branches of trees, strobe lights, odours, and the playing of taped distress calls. (Photo by Ian Waldie/Getty Images)

A  New York  resident may have caught a frightening brain disease in one of the most strangest ways, and that’s by eating squirrel meat that was contaminated with zombie-like proteins. As a result of the disease the 61 year old man suffered cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, psychosis, and was unable to walk.

Doctors could not do anything for the man, and he died within five months. Tests showed the man caught a rare disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(vCJD), which is very fatal and caused by a protein known as prion which is also a disease in which some animals carry. There have only been 200 documented cases of vCJD worldwide.
