- jcims 6y agoThat’s how they turn your brain into Swiss cheese right? I’m just wondering how they are formed, are they misfolded normal proteins or just alien like virii.
- bbojan 6y agoThey are misfolded body's normal proteins, with a nasty side effect that they cause the normally folded copies of the same protein to also misfold in the same way. The result is a chain reaction of sorts.
