Prions are scary as hell. Can I become infected with a prion from drinking bone broth (chicken, beef or lamb) or are the risks about the same as eating a cheeseburger from McDonald’s?

As long as you’re not in the habit of eating brains, the risk is effectively zero. Slurp all the broth and bone marrow you like. You’re at higher odds of catching a meteorite to the head than getting prion disease from animal bones.
