Brain-eating prions simply defy traditional biology. They are smaller than the smallest known virus and can survive in tissue long after death. They can cross the species barrier and incubate for decades. They appear to be almost indestructible and can contaminate pastures, animal feed, feeding equipment, medical tools and blood. Only combustion at 1,000 degrees Celsius can destroy prion infectivity. Incredibly, prions can remain infectious after burning at 600 degrees Celsius.
Fucking what? Oh boy! Its a good thing I’m unable to feel fear anymore or this’d make me hide in bed again :D
Prions are terrifying…

Thank God prions destroy your fear center first… otherwise I too would be terrified.
I’m a big fan of zombies media so while I should feel more fear, it’s contaminated by childish excitement.
Boy am I glad Canada has medical euthanasia, because some of the prion diseases kill you in the worst possible way.
The more I learn about all the possible ways humans have of dying, the less I want to do it.
It would happen too fast for you to make that decision. By the time you show symptoms your brain has already sustained serious damage.
