Deadly Feast
by Richard Rhodes
Kevin Murphy discusses reading this book about prions and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. He mentions finding it in a bookstore for five dollars and describes how it covered a scientist studying tremor disease in New Guinea tribes and the transmission of disease through consumption of brain matter. This led to his decision not to eat squirrel brains due to concerns about prion diseases.
