[QUOTE="Noobie, post: 3097734, member: 127485"] Actually, prions were initially considered to be a conspiracy theory in the scientific community: [I]The word itself derives from 'proteinaceous infectious particle'; it refers to the initially heretical hypothesis that the infectious agent causing those diseases consists only of protein, with no nucleic acid genome.[/I] Quoted from an article that puts forth several takes on the current scientific 'consensus'. I almost missed the last summary because it follows a large 'related stories' section. [URL='https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-a-prion-specifica/']The molecular structure of prions and how they cause infections like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease[/URL] It also explains why such things as UV light are not effective against it. Apparently some forms are inherited in humans. [/QUOTE]
