I'm thinking that there are no current prevention methods because there also aren't any known ways to denature prions, but definitely a question to consider.

It is interesting how the people who are infected do not influence others who have similar diets. I wonder if they do anything to prevent it or they are willing to continue despite the possible consequences. <br />- Tugba Kahveci Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831678852903997571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-88101257188969085202021-11-17T20:38:02.220-08:002021-11-17T20:38:02.220-08:00I've heard about mad cow disease and that it c...I've heard about mad cow disease and that it can affect us, but I didn't know it was to that extent. It's really crazy to think about and thankfully it is extremely rare to obtain, but it's still obtainable. I agree that there should be more research and studies on it so we can eventually treat the disease and help those who do contract it.

Do the people who practice those rituals know the danger behind cannibalism? Also for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, if it is genetic is there a certain age were one would notice they have it?Jackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795706921480419345noreply@blogger.com
