The problem with prions is that they aren't destroyed by normal cooking temperatures like bacteria are-- if you fully cook a burger infected with E. coli, you are safe from contracting E. coli from that burger. If you fully cook a burger infected with prions, you are still fully at risk of contracting a prion-based disease. I've never heard of a prion transmitted through any type of milk, but if one existed, it would survive pasteurization.
