Prions act completely unrelated to heat. Actually they act unrelated to most factors which is why curing them is so hard.
They just kinda exist as a misfolded protein that does nothing until it bumps into something compatible, all on a size scale comparable to shooting a grain of sand into space and expecting it to hit a random planet. In fact you likely already have prions floating in your body but the chance of them hitting anything to fold is so small it might aswell be nothing (These are actually the cause of Alzheimers)
There is no intent or complex functions to it. It only gets worrying when you ingest more prions, increasing the probabilities
Very recent studies from 2019-2020 actually! Turns out prions are likely a key cause of Alzheimers. It’s specifically two proteins in our bodies turning into Prions!
The responsible proteins are the “Aß Prion” and the “Tau Prion”
That sounds like a huge development! I haven’t kept up with the research (obviously), last I remembered was that the plaque theories weren’t really panning out into successful treatments.

Are you saying prions cause Alzheimers? Last I heard we didn’t have a full understanding of what causes Alzheimers disease.

Yep they weren’t because turns out the “plaque” was caused by prions!
