FYI, prions aren't damaged by a mere 200F compost pile. It's a problem in hospitals too, where their ordinary autoclave temperatures only kill bacterial spores and other less hardy things.
I'm not sure but I think he's putting humanure directly on crops that he then eats. It's a pretty tight cycle, and it seems to me (with ZERO expertise) that if human prions are a thing that's a good way to find them.
