Sadly, nothing prevents prion-based diseases. Most Chemicals cleaners, autoclave temperatures, useless.

Tols used on prion based disease victims have to be incinerated. It's a misfolded protein not a virus or bacteria, it's dangerous because of its shape.

Fascinating and scary.

    I mean, 1700 Celsius does prevent prions.

    Now that is a 'congratulations' level of doneness.

    1700C "prevents" prions like a nuclear bomb "prevents" jaywalkers
