Zombies closer than we think?

The number 1 cause of disease transmission is..............................Lack of hand washing.

Also cook your food throughly and if you are in the third world country watch out for uncooked water - as sometimes that's the only mean to sterilize it. I was in hospital for 4 weeks out of my 6 week vacation in 1995 thanks to contaminated water.

id be careful going down the road you guys are going down. if you start being THAT paranoid, youre life is going to suck pretty soon. what you guys are talking about are EXTREMELY rare situations and cases. extremely. you have way higher chances of getting thousands of other things. if you want to be careful, you really need to live in the middle of nowhere, grow your own food, wear surgical gloves at all times, and rarely leave your house.

You should try to avoid spreading misinformation. Prions are not virii and don't "replicate into" life forms of any sort. Prions are misfolded proteins. When they come in contact with certain other proteins they cause them to fold incorrectly & create new prions. They are not alive. They do not take over healthy living cells as every virus does.

There are also zero confirmed cases of CJD or vCJD or nvCJD caused by contact with deer suffering from CWD.

It's also very unlikely that you got botulism from from hamburger. It's also not fast food employees who make the hamburger patties. They come pre-made to the restaurants. Frozen in most cases, but fresh at Wendy's.

This guy has it right. Prions are misfolded proteins. Cooking doesnt get rid of them either. In one form it causes CWD, and another version its tied to "mad cow disease". There was a soldier that came back from iraq or afghanistan some time ago, who ate goat meat given by local villagers. he came down with the human form of madcow disease, and is believed it came from the goat.

Prions are folded proteins, enzymes. The strongest bond in an enzyme is a sulpher bridge, a covalent bond. All the other bonds that retain the folds are weaker chemical bonds. ALL of the bonds will denature during cooking at a temp of 160 degrees F. They may be very resistant to other forms of denaturing like pH change and lower temp changes like a fever, but resistant to cooking? No way. You simply cannot defy the laws of electrons energy levels and the laws of thermodynamics.

So, on a lighter note, anyone see any zombie deer this season?

I think the "occupy" people are the first signs of the zombies. The only thing missing is is a virus.
