      I’ll try to make this light reading. Proteins are amino acid chains and they fold in a specific ways to form very specific shapes/structures. A prion is an “infective” protein that is folded incorrectly. When it bumps into certain other proteins it causes them to unfold also. Those unfolded proteins then do the same. As they are proteins they have no DNA or RNA aka genetic code. They’re dead simple, pun intended. But due to their mechanism they don’t adapt. A virus adapts in some cases very fast. A good virus is highly infective but doesn’t kill its host. Ebola is a good example. Early on you would rather be nuked that catch it, but it quickly (decades) gotten substantially less lethal. Prions don’t really have that route as they don’t have genetic material to mingle with other viruses or just DNA. They are mother nature’s supreme chain reaction.

      If someone gets super technical they can complain about my description above, but I’m trying to make it understandable. Granted my molecular and cellular biology degree gets older with every passing day
      Thanks. I've never heard of a prion before.

          Good podcast, I listened to that today. Alarming when they said it had a possibility of jumping over to humans.

            More of the same... throw scary what ifs around till someone thinks its based on some scientific fact ...typical of those that watch zombie movies as preparation videos.
            Biologist was interesting but tended to play to rogan ..''it has never happened......but then again it hasnt been proven it couldnt."

                I really think all you guys hunting in a CWD infected areas should stop hunting. I'm pretty sure it's been around for a very long time and now people are starting to talk about it like its some kind of new thing.

                    Did you not catch the part about shed prions chemically attach themselves to plants and prions in the soil (that seem to viable from anywhere from 5 to 40 years) can be drawn up into growing plants/crops.

                      Nope, I Haven't heard about corn, wheat, oats, or soybean markets being effected by CWD prions.

                        EHD kills thousands more deer in Missouri. Let's find a way to deal with that. CWD doesn't move me at all.

                          Watch the podcast?, they address that specific point of view.

                            He said they got plants to draw it up from the soil while growing them in what he called "a slurry of prions".

                            That is important info that can't be left out. It is like saying when got a monkey to contract it, but leaving out the part about injecting it directly to it's brain. <I'm not saying this happened, just using it as an example,
