I just didn't check the facts and simply typed "virus"; my bad. I just took the word.
So is Prion a subgroup of Toxin?
Anyway I tried feeding "snow ear" and other
Chinese-delicacy-that's-unknown-in-the-West to white people at various
times. The general reaction is along the line of "oh, Chinese Jello!
let me put more sugar in it... and maybe it tastes better if it's
refrigerated?" Ahhh... it's probably futile to explain the difference
between a fine fungus and boiled pig skin.

BSE (mad cow) isn't from a virus. The pathogen is a prion
(proteinaceous infectious particle) which is not a living thing, which
makes it resistant to cooking. Further the immune system can't kill
what's not alive (it doesn't work that well agains HIV and cancer, but
at least there's a fighting chance).

Everytime I walk by the meat section I have an urge to get some ox
tail for soup, but in the last few years I have tried to reduce eating
food that has a lot brain or spinal cord in it.
