    Brain-eating prions simply defy traditional biology. They are smaller than the smallest known virus and can survive in tissue long after death. They can cross the species barrier and incubate for decades. They appear to be almost indestructible and can contaminate pastures, animal feed, feeding equipment, medical tools and blood. Only combustion at 1,000 degrees Celsius can destroy prion infectivity. Incredibly, prions can remain infectious after burning at 600 degrees Celsius.

    Fucking what? Oh boy! Its a good thing I’m unable to feel fear anymore or this’d make me hide in bed again :D

        I’m a big fan of zombies media so while I should feel more fear, it’s contaminated by childish excitement.
