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?

Can you? Yes. Will you? No.

I still think the most common for humans is Creutzfeld-Jakob and that’s only from people that live on farms and prepare their own cattle. Even then, it’s still rare to hear about.
