Supports "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day" to raise awareness about this rare, fatal brain disorder.

The resolution supports "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day" to highlight the importance of raising awareness about this rare, rapidly progressive, and fatal brain disorder. CJD is a prion disease that affects approximately 600 people annually in the United States, with 85 percent of cases being sporadic. The resolution emphasizes the need for continued surveillance of prion diseases, particularly through examination of postmortem human brain tissue, to evaluate whether chronic wasting disease (CWD) can spread to humans.
