Yes. I looked it up afterwards and found there were other breakouts in livestock and humans.
Nothing to panic about (not very likely), but seems wise to stay well away from consuming brains of any animal as food, even cooked.

I'm still combing through it. "Cells" chapter now. Amazingly eye opening book, a lot of things I never knew about.
What you wrote about prions still keeps me antsy. Would you worry that eating a novel protein, like e.g. game meat, could trigger an avalanche of misfolding?
