Something else we’ll just have to learn to live with, like Lyme disease, because no one wants to shoot Bambi.

The disease is now in Virginia, probably putting an end to my use of venison.

I had a zombie dear whose brain rotted.
Hated to lose her.

Prions are only in CNS tissue. It was common practice in England to grind up the waste products of cattle and add it back into animal feed. The waste products were bones and spinal cords among other things. This caused wide spread infections in cattle. People would eat the brains of cows in certain lunch meats or brains were added as filler for ground beef. This is how people got sick.
There is some debate if prions can be found in muscle tissue.

“...behave in confused ways as their brains are turned into sponges by abnormal proteins.”

because no one wants to shoot Bambi. Walt Disney ruined our country by making animals talk not too long after the 19th amendment passed.

Prions are not living creatures, they are molecules.
They can “survive” temperatures of 600° F, far higher than ordinary sterilizers can reach.

Some damn Leftist must have bit a deer and infected it.
To: RummyChick
In a few months the place where I live will become a hunting paradise as one half million hunters search for deer. And we have some wasting disease in the county where I live.
Then venison will be everywhere. People share it, at work mostly.
And yes prions are slow but no one here has been felled by them,
Slow news day.

What happens when a human is bit by a tick or mosquito that fed on the blood of a deer? I wonder if those Prions are transmittable in that manor.
Putting millions of people at risk.

Next season on the exciting AMC/Animal Planet crossover series: The Rutting Dead.
Sure deer run across highways like they have no brains, especially during mating season, but now they have a reason.

Prions are not living creatures, they are molecules. They can survive temperatures of 600° F, far higher than ordinary sterilizers can reach.
An article I read a while back said that prions can be destroyed with ordinary contact lens storage solution.
The prions are proteins and the enzymes in the solution break them down.
