Okay, unironically, what the fuck is this shit

*kills prions*

>normal is all chaotically twisted
>"diseased" is in a neat, lean shape

The problem with that neat lean shape is that it is so clean when it bumps into other prions it causes their amino acids to fold in the same way. This leads to a cascade effect where it spreads. Ultimately that fucks your brain meat up bigly and leads to madness, retardation, and death in that order.

>>22927752
Why does one protein touching another force it to change its shape? Peer pressure? lol

>>22927750
That's the problem you crystallize alive, or rather one type of protein did it fucking all the encountered cells

>>22927748 (OP)
A very unlucky biological mistake. Basically the protein folds in a way such that it causes other proteins to attach themselves and bend into the same shape. This forms a long chain that can just keep growing and accumulating in ur brain. They break off of course, but then each new eld will start forming its own chain. Pretty fucked up dementia ensues. 100% fatal.

These are actually some of the most dangerous photos taken by humans. This is because prisons can't be killed with basically anything, since it's just an unliving protein. You have to throw away your tools when don't working with them, and there is a good chance they are still probably hazardous inside their garbage bags in the dirt for a good time. Can't even seem to burn them according to some.

How many times a day will you post this?

>>22927753
the infectious shape is more energy favorable and lowers the activation energy of the other forms to convert into mutant form.

>>22927748 (OP)
A shitty way to die.
Remember to cook your victims well before ingesting

>>22927755
I think you can denature them by burning them, but an autoclave just doesn't get hot enough.

>>22927755
Try treating the patient with a combination of bee stings, garlic, and psilocybin
Plus >>22927749 and rock tripe lichen and any other natural remedies are effective

>>22927752
so this is a liberal disease?

>>22927748 (OP)
Fold your sheets one way, comfy bed. Fold them the wrong way, you are dead.

>Pretty fucked up dementia ensues. 100% fatal.
Oh no! I should tell the102 year old dementia patient i work with that it's fatal!

>>22927763
Mad Cow disease is fatal.

>>22927749
You memeing anon?
Any truth to this?

>>22927765
i think prions survive autoclaves
they're extremely difficult to destroy

>>22927772
What kinda evil fucking disease is this?
Sounds more like some kinda evil jewish curse.

>>22927780
it does doesn't it

i never looked into it, but i heard they're inverted/mirrored proteins
OPs image looks legit but i don't know what it means
i don't know how a mirrored protein could be a transmissible disease or self-replicate

>>22927785
Why can't they treat it?

>>22927833
i'm not sure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion#Treatments
ah, it looks like they replicate by causing other proteins to misfold in the same way
"vJCD" is mad cow disease, they mention it in the article
idk if there are other prion diseases but vJCD is the most common one

there's a whole section in that article about how they replicate, but i can't make sense of it

"The mechanism of prion replication has implications for designing drugs. Since the incubation period of prion diseases is so long, an effective drug does not need to eliminate all prions, but simply needs to slow down the rate of exponential growth. Models predict that the most effective way to achieve this, using a drug with the lowest possible dose, is to find a drug that binds to fibril ends and blocks them from growing any further."
kind of interesting

>>22927748 (OP)
It's all fake none of that is real if you are sick it's because you have been inhaling bad air or are exposed to ligmatic miasma

>>22927840
>>22927842
That's nice but all of that shit is made up just take care of your miasmas and stop inhaling the bad air

Kuru is your curse.

Is this how the zombie apocalypse begins?

>>22927854
nah we're good
i mean, mad cow disease IS probably the closest existing thing to a zombie virus
the original mad cow disease epidemics in the 20th century happened because of extremely cheap-ass beef CAFO operations were grinding up dead cattle & feeding them to the living ones
the cows seem to actively become cannibalistic once infected & symptomatic

the things preventing a prion zombie apocalypse are
1. there's no way for some crazy fucker with mad cow to give it to you. he might try to eat people, but he can't spread the disease through bites. the only reliable way to spread prion diseases is by consuming brain matter.
2. it takes 10 to 15 years from consumption for the disease to be symptomatic in humans.

>>22927851
how do you know if air is bad?
>>22927852
ohyeah, i forgot about kuru
that is another prion disease for anyone wondering
i think there was a tribe somewhere in which they would eat eachothers brains as like a cultural thang
that was atleast a century ago, i think

>>22927869
You slowly stop moving and start laughing all the time.

If ever there was a virus that helped cannibals eat and propogate prion diseases it would be kuru.
