I learned about these buggers while studying for my BS in biology. Formaldehyde doesn't seem to kill them, gloves also don't seem to keep them out, as there's a prion disease that seems pretty prevalent among neurosurgeons called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. From what I've read, prions are commonly found around the CNS (central nervous system). This is from what I remember in my Microbiology class, so there's got to be others out there that know more than this on this forum.
