E. coli is simply the grossest because it is the bacteria that gives the characteristic smell to human shit. It is the definitive shit germ. With that said, I'd probably prefer that to a prion.
Food poisoning general.
redpill me on prions, all i know is they cause mad cow and shit

They aren't bacteria. They are just proteins. However, these proteins will change the shape of other proteins when they touch them. This becomes a problem if one is in your brain and starts changing the structure of your brain. See: Any form of dementia, including madcow.
The thing that sucks is that, while they are rare, normal aseptic technique does not kill them, because they are not viruses/bacteria, etc. The only way to destroy them for sure is super crazy extreme pressure and steam to denature them, and that isn't 100% from what I've heard.
