      Oh and I guess, potentially, the post about Micheal j fox could also be about prions, since it’s suggesting his Parkinson’s is the result of accidental ingestion of human remains (probably brain matter, like the how the kuru disease was spread). So maybe we’re up to 3 posts for prions!

        Yikes I’m glad I don’t believe in argumentum ad popularum or at this point it would be prion apocalypse confirmed!

      Haha I just saw that—excellent. Prions definitely belong to the creepy/weird category of potential threats.
