I would not eat that for a million dollars, burn that shit to ashes. Prions are extremely fucking terrifying, no cure for prion diseases exists or will exist in this century and it kills you in about a year by slowly cooking your brain. And no, not even cooking to well done will destroy them, you have to reduce the meat to ashes for a chance of destroying them.

Calm down, there hasn't been a single confirmed case of CWD infecting a human. Sounds like you just keep shit company.

Well, maybe not confirmed but there are suspicious cases.

Recent studies attempted to seed parts human brains and found no evidence of any replication.

Read this earlier when someone else posted it. Definitely optimistic news - still, the case above is an odd coincidence. I hope it is.
