We know the world has a fever called Climutt Chainz. That’s why we have so many pandemics now, you know.

I don’t think prions mutate the same way viruses do. You have to have direct contact with them.

Do the hunters that they test have to be dead like the deer?

I live in a CWD area. Have eaten probably 40+ deer here since the first case in 2005.
My wife says I am trying to become the first human to get it, but that there is nothing in my head it could infect.

“Prion based diseases are 100% fatal.”
Yes, the misfolded protein is simply incompatible with life.
And the instant Internet epidemiologists on this thread poo-pooing the threat miss the wonderful potential for this to become transmissible via aerosol.

“... “damages portions of the brain and typically causes progressive loss of body condition, behavioral changes, excessive salivation and death,”
Sounds like the effect of public schools.

The prions are in the soil and even taken up by plants. Deer pass it through their saliva, grooming, feces, urine, food, scrapes. There isn’t anything like a gold standard scientific study on modes of transmission and percent of occurrence because it is a study impossible to do in a wildlife setting.
Game agencies set up rules trying to contain it just because they have to appear to be doing something. But they don’t have any true science that can be cited.

I would guess that the labs are working full time to make it happen.

Disease X eh?
So this is what they are working on now, I take it.

Odd that something so small could be so destructive.
