Not if it was a prion disease.

你说什么。

You catch a prion disease by ingesting infected tissue.

而朊病毒存在于人的神经组织里。

In particular, Prion disease creates holes in the brain, giving it a spongiform appearance and ultimately causing death.

特别是，朊病毒病会在大脑中形成一个个洞，使其看起来像海绵一样，最终导致死亡。

And though the practie is believed to have stopped, the incubation of Prion disease can take up to 50 years meaning new cases could still reveal themselves.

尽管据信这种做法已经停止，但朊病毒病的潜伏期可能长达 50 年， 这意味着新病例仍可能出现。
