as far as i understand it they can technically just show up, without you having to eat anything. it’s one of those “could kill you from nowhere” things, like false vacuum decay.
but eating human meat, especially brain, will significantly increase the risk, yes
Aren’t prions located in the brain?

Not limited to human though. BSE (B for bovine, cow) is basically the same, caused by having pulverized animal in their feed.
Btw, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy translates to cow sponge-brain sickness.
They spread everywhere, and cause progressively worse neurological issues as they spread through the brain.
