Re: failure

I read in sci.electronics.design that Ken Smith <kensmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote (in <dhvf0l$p9p$8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) about 'failure', on Wed, 5 Oct 2005:

The prions from a mad cow seem to survive stuff that would kill just about anything else. IIRC: They remained dangerous even after an animal was burned and burried for some time.

The burning would have to be incomplete. The protein is heat resistant above 100 C but not at combustion temperatures.

Anthrax spores (anthrax is a bacterium) are very resistant and can survive burial for a very long time.
