  2. Be careful, people. For the time being, avoid eating anyone in that area of Spain.

  3. scary stuff. i wonder if its possible the researcher knew they were infected, and their ignoring protocols a result of a frantic effort to find a cure

  5. Not contagious I assume?

    Takes years to incubate?

    Hopefully we don’t start seeing prion disease show up

  6. >Laboratory 4141 was not equipped to handle high biohazard samples…At the end of 2018, the CIBER public consortium signed an agreement so that the group could work with these dangerous samples at the high-security laboratory of the Animal Health Research Center (CReSA) in Bellaterra, Spain, near Barcelona. According to the sources we consulted, there was no reason to have the contaminated material in laboratory 4141, beyond saving time during experiments, since the CReSA bunker is 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) away and required waiting one’s turn to use.

    Whether he contracted it at this university or before (probably before), this guy skipped protocol for no reason other than convenience. Not about rushing to find a cure or whatever – he didn’t want to wait in line.

  7. We’re just not having good luck with biohazard research protocols these days. At least this one is not contagious.

  8. Kinda weird. Jose Baselga died from CJD 2 yrs ago in Spain – he was an oncologist tho.

  9. wasn’t this the plot of The Contractor with Chris Pine..?

  10. As somebody with a particular interest in prion diseases… I think I speak for everyone when I say… ah fuck.

  11. I work in the infectious disease field and hear about terrifying shit every day, and NOTHING keeps me up at night like prion diseases.

    Never ever ever eat any brains of any kind, no matter who you offend by declining. Unless you’re a zombie in which case go for the gold.

  12. I used to do body removal and every once in a blue moon we’d get a CJD body. We had to suit up in full hazmat gear. Its taken very seriously. It’s definitely one of the few things that ever scared me while doing that work.

  15. As someone who has lived in Spain I remember having 7 years ago pig’s head ham (not related to boar’s head lol)
    I read a lot in my life, and I just heard of this here on Reddit, and I’m terrified

  16. C’mon maaan! I don’t want to wear a mask again

  17. He sounds like most movie villains who end up victims of their own dodgy practices, I’m sorry to say.
