To be honest, I've been complaining about this more than you :P

Have you heard about this weird cancer Tazmanain devils get, that is actually transited by prions when they fight? Now that is genetic infestation.

As long as we're being pedantic, I feel compelled to note that prions are not a matter of genetics since they are not produced from DNA via RNA (unlike other proteins).
