Prions are difficult to get rid of because they are very resilient to common sterilization methods like heat, radiation, and disinfectants. Their unique structure allows them to resist breakdown and maintain their infectious properties, making them challenging to eliminate completely. Additionally, prions can persist in the environment for long periods, increasing the risk of transmission.
