Hi Hobie,

I'm just working it as well. A prion is a protein that is misfolded. Below is that definition:

Prions are misfolded proteins which characterize several fatal neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans. It is not known what causes the normal protein to misfold; the abnormal 3-D structure is suspected to confer infectious properties. The word prion derives from "proteinaceous infectious particle". Wikipedia

--------------------------------
In the definition above they state that infectious properties are suspected (in other words not proven)
-------------------------------
Again I made the statement that prions are caused by spirochettes; this article suggest that bacteria (spirochettes are a bacteria)cause misfolded proteins.

the article below doesn't mention Lyme Disease (LD) or Morgellons Disease (MD) but does mention amyloid plaques which are seen in both of these conditions.

Similar findings were noted in a related experiment in which nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans) that were fed curli-producing E. coli also showed increased levels of AS aggregates, compared with nematodes not exposed to the bacterial amyloid. A research group led by neuroscientist Shu G. Chen, Ph.D., of Case Western Reserve University, performed this collaborative study.

It has long been known that spirochetes form clumps or micro colonies in vitro and in vivo. Cortical spirochetal colonies in syphilitic dementia were considered as reproductive centers for spirochetes. Historic and recent data demonstrate that senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are made up by spirochetes.

=================================
Perhaps with the articles I've posted above it can be seen how my brain has and is pointing to spirochettes as involved in prion formation, the misfolding of the prions.

It is like they suddenly decided to do the macerena dance and one starts misfolding and they join in because it seems like the right thing to do. Almost like the spirochettes which are a spiral bacteria start whistling a tune and the misfolding begins.

Like much of the misbehaving in the world at the moment; right on time to create some new stories to entertain whomever?

Hope you can see how my mind got there. I'll look around for a more start to finish article; know I've seen something to that affect.

Many Blessings,
