Rise of the Zombie Deer
I too find this disease terrifying.Hunting of white tail deer is very popular where I am from. Everyone has family members who hunt and stock up on venison. It's very common for people to share their meat with friends and neighbors and cook venison around a camp fire. Many harvested deer have been tested and confirmed infected for at least a decade now. Most people do not get their deer tested. Certain WMU (wildlife management units) are mandated that all kills be tested. Also most people field dress their own deer which means lots of blood and fluids from the deer on their hands and clothes.I have seen a CWD deer in the wild not far from my house. It was scrawny and shaking with the strangest look on its face [1] just walking down the middle of the road. Very abnormal behavior for a deer. It's just a matter of time before it jumps to humans.Joe Rogan actually covered CWD on one of his podcasts [2] with a few biologists as guests. You can find videos [3] of CWD on YouTube.1. https://www.thenews.com.pk//assets/uploads/updates/2019-02-1...2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHOUpczwcyA3. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cwd+deer
