Just think of the repercussions of it jumping to cattle.

Piker, when jumps to humans even more scary. When UK had mad cow outbreak few years back the number of CJ rates also sky rocketed. A prion is a prion just different name for disease when in different animal or human. Interesting number is how many deaths from Dementia that were actually prions.

Yale University did autopsies on 44 Alzheimer's patients.
13 per cent had CJD.
Yale said deaths from CJD are highly under reported.

I guess it does not really matter when our brains go pulpy, whether it is from dementia or prions, both are not good.
