Hi Susan,



I believe an informed concensus would recommend...


That the acquisition of the 'prion' may be had from any kind
of Surgical proceedures as use Insturments which have been
used on others as had the (perhaps asymptomatic) complaint.

From routine Blood Transfusions, where, the doner had ( if,
again, asymptomaically) the complaint...

Aspiration of any of various contaminated 'dusts' or
airborne particles...

Getting infected Blood, Syrums or Lymph or whatever on one's
hands, skin, in ones eyes in a small way, etc...infected
'soils' quite possibly as well, if into a small cut or
scratch...

Placentially, from Mother to foetus...


...even if acquisitiion by 'eating' is the more popular, or
prefered method...



Best,


Phil
Las Vegas

Don't eat the bone ash. You can only get the prions in your
system by eating
them.
