Smɔl smɔl, dis bad prɔtin kin gɛda na di bren ɛn spɛshal kɔd, ɛn dis kin pwɛl di nerve tisu. We kaw dɛn gɛt dis sik, dɛn nɔ kin ebul fɔ tinap ɔ waka fayn, ɛn dɛn nɔ kin rɛst ɛn dɛn kin fɛt. Bɔt i kin tek lɛk 4-6 ia fɔ mek kaw sho dɛn sik ya afta i dɔn gɛt di sik.

Di sik bin de mɔ na Yunaytɛd Kiŋdɔm insay di 1980 ɛn 1990 dɛm, we dɛn bin de gi kaw dɛn we gɛt wɛlbɔdi , animal it we dɛn mek wit di mit ɛn bon dɛn fɔ animal dɛn we gɛt di sik. Bɔt bikɔs ɔf strikt rigyuleshɔn ɛn sef we dɛn dɔn mek na bɔku kɔntri dɛn ɔlsay na di wɔl, di sik we de apin to kaw dɛn dɔn rili smɔl naw.

Okay, so aw dis kin afɛkt pipul dɛn?

Yɛs, dis sik kin ambɔg mɔtalman bak. Bɔt afta dat dɛn nɔ kin kɔl am ‘mad kaw sik’. dis kכndyushכn na mכtalman dεn kכl am Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) .

Bɔt sɔntin de we impɔtant we yu nɔ fɔ kɔnfyus ya. Wan ɔda sik de we dɛn kɔl CJD . Dɛn kɔl am Klasik CJD (Sporadik CJD). Na dat dis vCJD bi.

• Klasik CJD: Dis nɔto bikɔs yu de it bif. Dis na sik we nɔ kin apin so ɔltɛm we kin apin bay insɛf, we nɔ gɛt ɛnitin we dɛn no bɔt, ɛnisay na di wɔl, pan ɛnibɔdi we it bif ɔ nɔ it bif. Bɔrku tɛm, e kin afɛkt pipul dɛm wae dɔn pas 65 ia.
• Variant CJD (vCJD): Dis kin gɛt fɔ du wit fɔ it bif we gɛt BSE. I kin afɛkt pipul dɛn we ol ɛni ej.

Insay kɔntri dɛn lɛk Sri Lanka, di risk fɔ gɛt vCJD we pɔsin it bif kin rili nia ziro . Dis na bikɔs dɛn gɛt rili strikt kwaliti kɔntrol fɔ import kaw ɛn mit na wi kɔntri dɛn ɛn dɛn nɔ ripɔt ɛni ripɔt bɔt BSE bitwin kaw dɛn na wi kɔntri.

Wetin na di sayn dɛm fɔ vCJD?

Dis sik kin tranga smɔl fɔ no bikɔs di fɔs sayn dɛm kin tan lɛk pɔrsin wae gɛt maynd prɔblɛm. As di sik de go bifo, sɔm sayn dɛm wae gɛt fɔ du wit di nervɔs sistɛm de sho.

As di sik de go bifo te i rich in las stej, di pɔsin nɔ kin no wetin fɔ du ɛn i nɔ kin no di tɛm ɛn ples. כnכfכs, day kin apin insay 13 mכnt afta i gεt vCJD.

Aw dɛn kin no ɛn trit dis sik?

I at fɔ tɔk wit 100% shɔ se pɔsin gɛt vCJD we i de alayv. Di wangren we fɔ mek yu shɔ gud gud wan na fɔ mek yu tek yu bren bayɔpsi afta yu day.

Bɔt if dɛn tink se pɔsin gɛt dis sik, dɔktɔ dɛn go du sɔm tɛst dɛn fɔ no ɔda sik dɛn we de ambɔg am.

Yu tink se tritmɛnt de?

Naw, ɔl wetin dɛn de du na fɔ kɔntrol di sik dɛn ɛn gi di pɔsin we sik. Fɔ ɛgzampul, dɛn kin gi mɛrɛsin fɔ mek pɔsin fil pen, fɔ mek i gɛt prɔblɛm wit in maynd, ɛn fɔ mek i nɔ ebul fɔ slip.

Aw wi go protɛkt wisɛf frɔm dis?

Di bɛst sɔlv fɔ dis na fɔ mek kaw nɔ gɛt BSE. Kɔntri dɛn ɔlsay na di wɔl dɔn tek strikt tin dɛn fɔ du dat.

• Test kaw fɔ BSE.
• Fɔ pwɛl animal dɛn we sik.
• Wan kɔmplit ban fɔ put pat dɛn we gɛt risk lɛk bɔy bren ɛn spɛnal kɔd insay mɔtalman it chen ɛn animal it.

Impɔtant tin dɛn fɔ mek yu as wan pɔsin no:

• We wi kuk, i nɔ de kil priɔn: Nɔmal wan, we wi kuk, we wi ɔt, i kin kil di jem dɛn. Bɔt dɛn prɔtin dɛn ya we dɛn kɔl priɔn nɔ kin pwɛl bikɔs ɔf ay tɛmpracha, asid, ɔ raytin.

Fɔ dɔn, we wi de liv na kɔntri lɛk Sri Lanka, wi nɔ gɛt ɛni rizin fɔ gɛt fred we nɔ nid fɔ fred bɔt vCJD. Wi kɔntri gɛt rili ay standad fɔ sef fɔ it.
