As far as I know, the prion link is still not widely accepted as the vector for CWD. The prions have been found in beef, cow milk and other places as well. Still, CJD is very rare in humans, so the simple presence of prions is not necessarily an indicator of risk for consumption.

I posted this just because I thought the article was interesting, and I wanted the opinion of fellow freepers. I am NOT anti-hunting or anti venison, in fact I love both.

Appreciate all the comments.

But, does *every* person who has CJD have prions? That would be enough of a link for me.
