I'd like to ask for an addendum/part 2 to this video that covers CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE(CWD) in deer and other cervids, as it is becoming more and more globally wide spread and has been shown to be transmissible to other species such as mice, squirrels, etc.
I find that informing the public about CWD important because shortly before I became the county health inspector in my small midwest community, there was a young mother that died of CJD.
Although the case had been handled before I was hired, I found it quite interesting, and the information in the case showed that there was a likely link to her CJD and CWD as she had lived her early life in an area where consumption of squirrel brains was routine among hunters, so even just 1 single deer with CWD can easily become a huge vector for spread among several different species, and although the risk is extremely, extremely remote, humans are included on that list.

Couple things you didn't mention about CJD/Prions.
First the Prion proteins that cause CJD and other such diseases are extremely hardy and can survive in many extremes for very long times, outdoor environment timelines of over a decade are possible, and the prions are also quite impervious to standard inactivation methods such as heat, heat and pressure (including autoclaves), irradiation, and chemicals.
With one strain of Scrapie that's used for research that's particularly hardy, and research has shown it to be able to retain infectivity after usual sterilization processes with conditions that sterilize all other pathogenic agents, and it has shown it can retain very small amounts of infectivity in a DRY heat at temperatures upwards of 600`C.

Second the illness found in the Fore tribes people of New Guinea was given the name KURU, and it was effecting women and children of the tribe at a higher rate than men. Initially the researchers had no idea why, until they discovered that the male tribe members were given the best meaty portions of the dead to consume, and once they were finished the women and children would consume the remainders which would include the brain.

That said, although the chances of contracting a Prion protein disease is infinitesimally small, Prion protein diseases are flat out scary as hell.
