@pixelpusher220@dmv.community They would have to consume prions, whether they were in brain or other CNS matter, or perhaps meat that had been contaminated with it, or, ref the research I noted, even in the environment. Which is a little scary to think about.

@pixelpusher220@dmv.community Let me just clarify there are a short list of prion diseases. The one in the video is due to a genetic disorder, not from eating anything. But I guess if someone literally ate the brain matter from a diseased person, yeah, the prions would be there and could start converting one's own normal prions into the mutant state. Yuck
