The Hood River County Health Department says two people in the County have died likely as a result of the rate brain disorder Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.  Health Department Public Information Officer Daron Ryan says over the last eight months, there have been one confirmed and two probable cases of CJD.  Ryan says per state law, the health department investigates and monitors diseases that could be a risk to the public, and at this time, there is no identifiable link between these three cases.  The risk of getting CJD is extremely low.  It does not spread through the air, touch, social contact, or water.  Ryan adds this is an active and ongoing investigation in partnership with the Oregon Health Authority and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the health department will continue to monitor the situation.
