Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children

One of the scariest facts I ever learned was that schizophrenia was passed down genetically.

That's horrifying.

You think that's bad...check out fatal familial insomnia.

Mad cow is another prion disease. Not caused by a bacteria or virus, it's the result of misfolded proteins that spread and eventually result in a horrifying death. Since these proteins take crazy high temperatures to denature, even cooking them doesn't help. And they occur naturally to varying degrees. Eep!

Props to my atf meme template. Still inspirational after all these years.
