There are cases of corneal transplants and organ transplants emanating from sufferers of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease that have become infected. But cadaver organs would never be used in this way. Stop fretting about these unproven problems. Getting cut by a hypodermic syringe provides a much more profound risk.
