Prions are doubly terrifying because it's not a typical disease. From what I understand it's proteins folding in a different way that come into (the prions can be dead or alive) and the healthy proteins will take on the new form. It's scary because typical sterilization (high heat) for surgery does not work guarantee it and the heat required is not currently practical.
The shakes from that cannibals get are prions. I also though I saw a link to a subset of alzehimer cases but can't find it.
