Two hunters may have become the first Americans to die from a 'zombie deer' disease.
Experts have been warning for years that the nearly 100 percent fatal chronic wasting disease (CWD) - which leaves deer confused, drooling, and unafraid of humans - could jump from animals to people.
But a new study theorizes that it has already happened - in two hunters who died in 2022 after eating contaminated venison.
One of the victims, a 72-year-old man, suffered 'rapid-onset confusion and aggression,' as well as seizures. He died within a month.

I don’t believe cooking can do anything to inactivate prions, if this is like Mad Cow Disease.

Prions don’t care about heat, iirc.

“Prions cannot be destroyed by boiling, alcohol, acid, standard autoclaving methods, or radiation. In fact, infected brains that have been sitting in formaldehyde for decades can still transmit spongiform disease. Cooking your burger ‘til it’s well done won’t destroy the prions!”

Autoclaving doesn’t inactivate BSE, and that would be extra well done beyond use for shoe leather.

Has Joe Biden been checked for this illness?

One of the victims, a 72-year-old man, suffered 'rapid-onset confusion and aggression,'They'd better check Biden for it.
