Very interesting.

If I read the article correctly, there's still no way to test for these critters in the blood. Do I have that right?

And do they really know what the level of prions in the bloodstream are required to produce illness or are they just guessing?

It's great they've found a way to filter them out, well most of them anyway.

Thanks for the info and Merry Christmas to the both of you.

Regards,

I don't know much beyond the article in terms of testing and blood.

I just know that any amount seems to be hazardous and no amount of cooking, baking, microwaving etc. destroys them.

As far as I know, there's no way of destroying the buggers in meat or anything else.

And, they are in rat urine left on leaves, twigs, rocks, ?water?, in the forest etc.
