You can acquire it through direct contact, i.e. consuming prion-disease-contaminated meat. What would you call it?

Contagious means you can get it from direct or indirect contact with another person or organism that is infected. Not from eating them.

That is not possible with prion disease.

Ingesting a Petri dish full of flu virus doesn’t make the Petri dish ‘contagious’.

Also, that’s not what direct contact means when discussing contagion:

Ingestion is not ‘direct contact’.
