You can’t kill prions because they are already dead!  Just chains of dead amino acids, resistant to heat (1000 degrees) and pressure, lye, and all the other things that have been tried, such as down in Colorado.  Can’t look at it like bacteria and viruses! Old Louis Pasteur must be rolling in his,grave!  Thanks for,the link Lucan! Best discussion I’ve seen yet.</blockquote>
