IIRC at the time the BSE outbreak in the UK[1] was referred to as "foot and mouth disease" and I've heard people refer to it as that since then. I wasn't even aware they were separate things.

There may have been some innacurate reporting, but FMD and BSE present very differently in humans so I doubt there was deep confusion.
