Do you have an example of such a chemical being used to effectively remediate prion contaminated environments?

[XorNot → Red_Leaves_Flyy]

Apparently not: I was thinking glutaraldehyde which is used for cleaning in hospitals but reading up the advice for prions is explicitly opposed to cross-linking agents.

Which makes sense I guess but it's also scary.

You raised my hopes and dashed them exquisitely.

Until we have better, cheaper, and less error prone methods of remediating prion diseases they're the #1 fear on my biological apocalypse list.
