Spores formed by bacteria like C. botulinum or B. anthracis are also very difficult to neutralize. The key is knowing if there is an exposure risk and taking added precautions.

The good news is that some people are "immune" to developing an infectious prion disease. Turns out that certain mutations prevent normal proteins from interacting with a complementary prion in a way that would cause them to become misfolded.
