Came to pose something similar- it's a longer term degenerative issue. It could happen with RNA modification which is something to watch for. I don't think it explain the acute effects we've seen so far. Those seem inflammation related.

Could you possibly provide a general sketch as to how you're arriving at this timeframe? Not debating you, genuinely curious.

If I remember correctly it can take decades from the time you eat beef contaminated with prions before you start to become symptomatic. Maybe a certain percentage will be symptomatic more quickly?
