Then melt all your material because of prion disease. No biggie.
Edit: just to stop this sterile conversation, the dangers are ludicrous surrounding prions, that’s why nobody wants to come near even a potential threat. They (prions) don’t live so cannot be killed by normal means and hospitals melt any metal potentially have been in contact with them. A risk in a herd? Kill and burn the whole stock.
The danger of prions lies in their unique properties:
Resilience:
Prions resist standard sterilization methods, including autoclaving (high-temperature steam), chemical disinfectants, and radiation. This complicates decontamination of surgical tools or food processing equipment.
Silent Progression:
After exposure, prions can incubate for years, even decades, before symptoms emerge. Once neurological decline begins, death typically occurs within months.
Ooh you just, … checks notes … “Check for the disease”.
Aah that sounds so simple!
“Just check the meat bro” “how hard can it be bro”
Lol
Yeah you’d need like … an average laboratory for that. Impossible, no one has those!
