I'm rather stunned that researchers have not done this testing before....
While it is good news that bleach can deteriorate these prions, the practical applications for hunters and processors is almost irrelevant.
You may be able to destroy free prions from some tool materials using a 40% bleach soaking, but this does nothing for protection from contamination directly from the prion infected animal.
Hopefully this newfound information can open some new insights that may prove fruitful. Maybe one part of a 1000 piece puzzle.
I can see it now.
