Prions: the new incurable infection from meat and your DNA that makes you INSANE!!!!

Most of the time, mental illness and neurodegenerative diseases are confined to mind and body of the afflicted… but there is an exception to almost every rule. The exception to this rule is called the prion, but most of you may know it as “what causes mad cow.”

A prion is an infectious particle that, unlike all other forms of infection, doesn’t have any DNA or RNA. Prions, which were only first discovered in the 1980s, are misfolded proteins that “persuade” (induce) other similar proteins to take the wrong form. These misfolded proteins sort of stack together, occasionally breaking apart and forming new chains, and their numbers increase exponentially once even a single prion has entered the body. Prions are completely untreatable and frequently lethal.

In humans, prions seem to always cause neurodegerative disease. They seem to have a genetic basis, with 10-15% of prion infections connected to the PRNP gene, with the most common manifestations being Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS), and fatal familial insomnia (FFI). The remaining 85% of cases are likely contracted through food, needles, or otherwise unexplained mutations or malfunctions in protein folding.
