Possible deer to human CWD transmission

[stealthy_bowman]

Not conclusive, but for as long as CWD has been around, this is the first odd occurrence, that I am aware of, of possible cross-species transmission to humans:
Two hunters contract CJD with possible causal link to CWD contaminated venison

Fake news.

Already being discussed...and it flashed out pretty quickly. Conversation didn't really take off probably because it's not a true scientific study.

False not enough evidence to prove it true

Anti hunting propaganda to get us all living in pods and eating bugs. This is just the beginning of the globalist anti hunting crusades that will ultimately be blamed on "climate change".

I ran out of water in the backcountry one time and had to drink the piss of the buck I just killed, a solid 30 tall by 30 wide. It later tested positive for CWD, and I can tell you the only thing being wasted about me is my story telling potential

Not claiming that the NIH is bullet-proof, but they just published a study saying it's very unlikely that humans get get CWD. They basically tried to infect human tissue with CWD and were unable to.

Can Humans Get Sick from CWD?

A new study has shown that it's highly unlikely that CWD can be passed from deer to humans. The NIH published a study that showed zero transmission to human brain tissue from CWD-infected samples, even with direct exposure.

Unfortunately the deterrent for shooting a forkie for meat the last day of season in Montana has been debunked.

Not sure I understand? CWD is much more prevalent in mature deer.

This guy is a good test subject.

Check out the bucks at the end of that article… I know they are engineered farm animals, but my word those are monsters!
