Prions aren't even living. Prions don't do what they do to survive. It isn't like cancer which is somehow, very ironically, trying to survive. They are a simple mistake, a ghost in the machine of the programming of life. That somehow makes prions the scariest thing there is to me: the lack of a reason.

The immune system in the eyes is down-regulated as a form of innate protection because uncontrolled inflammation could be devastation on the eyesight, so it's not that surprising that these suckers could hide out there.
