I thought prions only affected the brain of an organism. How would you get a prion from eating the meat of a cow that had a prion, but you wouldn't get it from a deer that had a prion?

Why do furries feel the need to constantly trash post on OT?
Stop trying. You're just making yourself look even more cringy then you really are, Which would be hard for someone as cringy as you. |

The most plausible explanation is that the causative proteins between both illnesses vary quite significantly.
The deer protein variant is not "cross-infective" in the manner that the bovine protein variant is. Well, towards humans, it would seem.
Presumably, the protein itself is not degraded by the chemicals within the intestinal tract. Consequently, the protein is inevitably absorbed into the bloodstream, which allows it to penetrate the "BBB", or (Blood Brain Barrier). |

Well, that makes a bit of sense, but I thought prions were only in the brain. How exactly do you get one by eating the meat? |

"Well, that makes a bit of sense, but I thought prions were only in the brain. How exactly do you get one by eating the meat?"
The chemical alterations caused by minimal quantities of protein-infestation is enormous.
It is probable that the proteins within the brain are capable of flowing throughout the tissues/bloodstream without invoking an immune reaction. This would make the entirety of the affected animal infectious without necessarily triggering systemic symptoms. |

Well that makes sense now. I forgot that prions were proteins.
(For some reason I thought they were a specific chemical)

I wouldn't blame someone as un educated as you to make a mistake.
Now please leave. Your trash posts are making OT worse for the rest of us, furry. |
|
|
After all, you are a furry.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all that you would make such a stupid mistake. |
|
|
Maybe if you weren't wasting your money on cringey fur suits and lying to OT about owning a car you could afford decent education. |
|
|
Further more if you weren't wasting money on cringey fur suits which I assume you own several of, you might actually have the money to own a car. But no.
The icing on the cake is that you tried to lie to us about owning a car. The sad part was that you almost got away with it if it wasn't for me. |

I can only imagine this in a forum simulator being read in text-to-speech. Then "But no." is read slowly, and a dad song plays while a title card appears saying "lik if u cri evritim".
