How do you get mad cow disease?

I read an article about how some schools were supposed to get a shipment of beef that was potentially contaminated. It got me really scared. However I remember reading something a few years ago that you could only get the disease from eating really undercooked meat, with blood in it, or some part of the nervous system in it, or something like that. Does anyone know any information about that? I tried to do research myself but it got me too freaked out ha! I would appreciate it if someone could calm my nerves!

unlike the bird flu, it doesn't matter if the meat from an infected is cooked properly. one way or the other, if you eat the bad meat, you'll get sick.
