The scariest part of prion for me is its stability. Let's say you have virus stock in your hand (in the laboratory) and you want to destroy it, you just need to add SDS, Virkon, alcohol (if the volume is small), etc, and they are inactivated. You can autoclave (1atm 121 degree Celsius) whatever shit is in your hand (viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.), and they will be dead at the end. But prions are not vulnerable to any of those chemicals or heat that are included in the inactivation. Once you have it, you have to follow strict ways to destroy it, and if you accidentally get it, there is no way to prevent what will happen later to you.
@sigiligus9 ай бұрын
Once you have it you are guaranteed to die from it unless something else kills you first. The only conceivable way to treat it would be with nanomachines that could actually find and manually destroy the prions. Although that technology will probably never happen.

In the early 1980s I worked in an animal feed mill in the UK. I worked in the laboratory and we used meat and bone meal to increase protein in the feed. It was cooked to high temperatures. I also came from a farming background and had also dipped sheep with organophosphate sheep dips. It was illegal not to dip sheep and farmers were prosecuted. Some farmers it was theorised did suffer neurological conditions because of exposure to organophosphate sheep dip. Then after the appearance of BSE the organophosphate sheep dips were suddenly withdrawn. There was an article in the Lancet in 1999 about cumulative impact of exposure to organophosphate sheep dips on people. I am unsure whether it has ever been completely proved that sheep neural tissue, brain and other tissue fed to cattle via meat and bone meal could have been the source of BSE. I am also unsure whether potential links to organophosphates in sheep tissue were ever ruled out. I am still unclear if we have ever got to the bottom of why BSE really appeared and why it had not been seen to the extent it was before the 1990s. There is still a lot we don't know and I have never seen any reference to a thorough investigation.

Scrapies in sheep (spongiform encephalopathy ) was seen in sheep first, as 'downer' sheep were rended and put into the feed of living sheep. This was also done with cow feed, and eventually downer cows were rended for feed as well. Prior to industrialized farming, this practice was not done.

I was the court reporter a couple years ago on a Canadian class action lawsuit related to our federal government's handling of BSE. The real tragic thing is it devastated our beef industry, for no reason. The one infected cow being found - which was purchased from the UK - was enough, even though, according to the witnesses I heard from, feeding cows MBM was almost unheard of in this country, out of principle more than anything else. Farmers were simply understandably wary of feeding their cows something so far removed from their natural diet.

The thing that really terrifies me about prions is how they just hang around in the environment due to their immense stability. Here in Wisconsin the big source of prions is deer. Hunters and the DNR do their best to cull as many sick deer as possible but the reality is some deer are gonna die of the prion infection before they're found and then they're indistinguishable from any other rotting animal that died naturally. Not only will other animals potentially carry away its prions in their guts, but when the animal is fully rotted away the prions are still chilling right there in the soil. prions can be basically anywhere you could reasonably expect an animal capable of generating or carrying them to die. we could end all life on earth tomorrow with our hubris and the only things that would be left are prions and that ancient immortal dog that gets passed around as a sexually transmitted cancer. (ps a video about the immortal dog std tumor would be dope, I'm very fascinated by the question of whether the immortal cells that carry on to this day "count" as the same dog that they originated from. there's fun arguments either direction).

This video jumps all over the place with the naming of the prion disease and simply makes the video confusing and factually incorrect at times. The prion disease that was found in the cows was called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). The prion disease that humans contracted through contaminated meat consumption in the U.K. is called Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Most cases of CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) are SPORADIC. 2:35 - only 15% of CJD cases are genetic or inherited, while the majority of CJD cases are caused by unknown reasons (sporadic). 4:14 - This is simply false. The prion disease you are talking about is called "Kuru" (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies); it differs from CJD. Kuru is exclusive to Papua New Guinea because some tribes practiced cannibalism, and Kuru would spread from a contaminated person to those who consumed it. There's no evidence that sporadic CJD can be transmitted from person to person. However, there is evidence that vCJD can spread from person to person, usually via contaminated medical tools (spine taps). To explain once more, vCJD was caused by mad cow disease in the U.K. It's different from sporadic CJD, but it shares similar traits. Kuru is a completely different form of prion disease and is not related to CJD. A rather poorly and unclearly made video on a rather interesting topic.

I did research on prion diseases so I could write about something I was passionate about for my little speech (it was like a short version of a TED talk on something science related). I chose to narrow it down to chronic wasting disease in cervids, but I had a section on general prion diseases, since at their core they are all the same (misfolded proteins as the cause, through one form or another). From my research for something in HIGH SCHOOL, Kuru was specifically spread through cannibalism, but prion diseases in general are sporadic. While I didn't look deeply into Kuru, I did notice a few things. Different prion diseases in humans are named/categorized by small changes in spread and symptoms. Fatal insomnia causes you to be unable to sleep on top of everything else, and while I didn't see Kuru's symptoms, I wouldn't be surprised if it had nearly exactly the same symptoms as most other human prion diseases, but was identified as something different because of the unique circumstances that caused it to spread (cannibalism still occurring in Papua). He even got the idea of prions being completely indestructible wrong, unless every single other source I've seen (including some really reputable ones such as the CDC) is wrong, which say that they can be destroyed (or at least heavily neutralized) by extremely high temperatures. So while he was right about cooking not being enough, being completely unable to get rid of existing prions is just incorrect.

Just as all people do not get cancer not all will get folded prions or perhaps already have other prions that keep the deadly prions at bay acting like venom/anti venom

Quick correction since I can't help myself: the prion protein itself is not the issue. Everyone has normal prions in their body, although we don't yet know their function (although, their close cousin, the doppel gene--which was discovered when we were trying to figure out the function of prions, as its structure looks very similar to that of the prion's--is responsible for making sure that (at least) the sperm gamete is made correctly. Fun! Small amounts of it is also in the brain, and when there's too much in the brain, that can also cause issues; it's believed that prions and doppels are antagonistic to each other at least in the brain, meaning they perform the opposite action of each other to keep equilibrium). The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for making sure all of the prion proteins are folded correctly; it's estimated that as many as 1 in 10 are misfolded, and the ER refolds them. Problem is, it's extremely difficult, and one of the ways prion disease develops is when the ER is overwhelmed by too many misfolded proteins that then misfold other proteins that come into contact with them.

I was living in West Germany in the late 1980s _WHEN IT BEGAN other places in Europe._ Sick and dead cows were processed and added to cattle feed, dog food, cat food and fish and fowl feeds. THAT is how it exploded. Cannibalism is never good.

I would like to point out at around 6:30 would be a good time to mention how there was a similar disease in goats/sheep but the disease never spread to humans. So they were working on the information they had at the time which was the history of a similar disease NOT infecting humans, and there were no similar diseases known to do so. There was a strong belief it would not infect people because it simply did not happen before to their knowledge.

‘Scientific committees were criticised for their slow decisions’ the way it has definitely gotten even worse now than back then. Every medical guideline is more concerned about ‘overdiagnoses’ and ‘overtreatment’, even now just after a deadly pandemic, that’s partially why people need to fight with their doctors for them even consider giving tests to see what’s wrong with them and just being all around dismissive

This video ignores the true origin of BSE. That prions are formed by accident in human beings or in cattle can happen but is super rare. Yet it happens way more often in sheep, where the illness they cause is known as "scrapie". In sheep this illness is known since 1732. And the most probably cause of BSE was, that sheep parts were also processed into cattle food. That sheep are more prone to forming prions has genetic reasons and may be a cause of breeding performed by human beings. Which is enforced by the fact that some sheep species are more prone to it than others and those more prone are those that did undergo more breeding by human beings. So that's how BSE started and only from there it was cattle to cattle transmission by processing cattle remains as cattle food.

There was an x files episode about this. There was a town of people who were eating each other (it was something about seeking immortality) and one of them had creutzfeld-jacob’s, which spread to all the cannibals. That’s where I first heard about this, and it’s really interesting to learn more about the real science behind it

Other reasons to not eat beef? Red meat is a type 2A (probable) carcinogen, and raising cows has the worst impact on the environment including climate change of any farmed animal. It also wastes the most natural resources like fresh water, and is the main reason why animal agriculture is the top cause of deforestation, habitat loss, and biodiversity loss. The Amazon rain forest was decimated by burning to raise cattle and to grow soy for farm animal feed. Brazil is a top exporter of beef and soy.

Prions are the only reason why I am scared to hunt or scavenge forest animals for food, to live offgrid. I'm also scared to eat fresh water fish, in case an infected deer contaminated the river or lake I would fish in. I don't like seafood, but the reduced chance of prions being in the ocean, is making me interested. But then there's the issue of microplastics & mercury in seafood. I'm not joining the cult of veganism, because it would be very difficult to get essential nutrients, mainly found in animal products, like vitamin B12. And if & when poop hits the fan, harder then covid. Vegans will be in the same boat as diabetics, trans people, and other people who require special things, they can't make themselves, or find in the wild, like insulin, hormone therapy meds, other medication, non-animal-product B12 and nutrients you have to get from some company or lab. These groups of people are the first to really struggle during a Doomday Prepper like disaster. Insulin dosent last that long, medications expire, and I think there is alge that makes B12, but how many vegans can or will farm that? And what about the other essential nutrients easy found in animal products? Life can really suck.

Not a matter of "letting" cattle eat cattle. They blended bone and meat meal into rations fed to feed lot cattle. They thought it was a shortcut to get cattle to market weight faster, providing protein directly, rather than the animal have to make it from ingredients in plants.

There is no cure right now, but I'm sure we will eventually figure it out. We defeated so many diseases that were once called incurable, and we did so many things that were once called impossible. One day, curing Prions will be just another thing that we just do despite our ancestors calling them impossible.
