[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3228634, member: 5412"] [SIZE=4][B]Can Prions be Destroyed?[/B][/SIZE] Prions are very hearty proteins. They can be frozen for extended periods of time and still remain infectious. To destroy a prion it must be denatured to the point that it can no longer cause normal proteins to misfold. Sustained heat for several hours at extremely high temperatures (900°F and above) will reliably destroy a prion. Hunters are advised to wear gloves when handling deer carcasses and to clean equipment used on the carcass. While chemicals may not destroy a prion or render it inactive, prions may be manually removed or diluted with a disinfectant and scrubbing.
