Theoretically, could someone weaponize prions? Perhaps there'd be no point if the same tactics would be more effective with a typical deadly pathogen (ebola or something), but in theory could a malicious actor take human/animal brains confirmed to have a prion disease and then mash up and aerosolize the brain matter? Or would it not be possible to get infected through inhalation?
