Were you worried about prion-based complications?
- yorwba 9y agoI was pretty sure that cooking would mostly get rid of prions, but apparently Kuru was transmitted even by cooked meat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease) On the other hand, most humans aren't cannibals and would only suffer from transmissible prion diseases by chance mutations.
- curuinor 9y agono brain matter, to my knowledge. not a senile death either
