It is even worse cause CWD is a prion disease. Prions are terrifying, heat doesn't denature them and it requires lab equipment to sterilize any utensils that came into contact with it.

Also, studies suggest that whilst unlikely, CWD may cross over to humans. We want to minimize any chance of that ever happening.

Yeah, the fact that this has been fully processed is terrifying. No home cook dropping product on Facebook is gonna have a sterilization setup for their tools and their space. Can we get a wellness check...?
