Prions have been around for decades. Found in sheep, cows, deer, camels, elk, cats and ostrich. From what I remember from school, don’t eat these animals brains. (Damn!)
There is form in humans called CreutzfeldtJakob disease. Although some cases have been theorized to be inherited, cannibals are at high risk.
I’m not too worried about this.

Mississippi has found 11 so far. Tennessee in Hardeman and Fayette Counties has found over 94 since Thanksgiving. Mississippi was proactive and went after the first one found but most now are coming from the outbreak on the stateline of Tennessee.
I fear the disease in Tennessee is out of control. I suspect that a deer camp located at the county line of Fayette/Hardeman brought in the contaminated deer because the positives in Tennessee radiate from that location and spread out. That is my hypothesis.

And it’s possible there could be a rash of hot 35 year olds who want to jump my bones. And my wife would say that’s cool go ahead and do it.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program in the real world.

“And its possible there could be a rash of hot 35 year olds who want to jump my bones. And my wife would say thats cool go ahead and do it.”
I’ve often thought about how to jump to that alternative reality but, so far, no luck in actually getting there. I have, however, detected signals which tell me what is going on there. In that in that universe I also win the $1 billion Mega Millions ... before the 35-year-olds start jumping my bones. I have yet to find the universe in which that order is reversed.

"Prions have been around for decades. Found in sheep, cows, deer, camels, elk, cats and ostrich. From what I remember from school, dont eat these animals brains. (Damn!)""The term 'prion' was coined by Stanley B. Prusiner of the University of California School of Medicine at San Francisco in 1982 to distinguish the infectious agent that causes scrapie in sheep, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle from other, more typical infectious agents. The prion hypothesis postulates that these diseases are caused not by a conventional virus or bacterium but by a protein that has adopted an abnormal form."

"Mississippi was proactive and went after the first one found but most now are coming from the outbreak on the stateline of Tennessee."I read in the local paper this past week about two Alabama hunters ticketed because they were caught bringing two dead dear across the state line from Mississippi to Alabama.

"Mad cow disease was effectively avoided by following kosher slaughter (no ill animals, meat kashered drained of blood) and kosher butcher (no organs, no nerves, among other things)." Haven't you noticed that every cow in this country that provides food or milk has a number attached to it's ear. Every cow I see everywhere around here has that number thing on their ear.

You are correct.
This disease has not spread to humans because the state DNRs and conservation people have done an excellent job of educating hunters about CWD.
The other thing that works in our favor is the symptoms of the disease are unmistakable. The deer become so emaciated and weakly that no hunter would want to shoot one except to possibly put it out of it's misery.

CWD is the poster child for licensed big game hunting and good game management. Preventing overcrowding by selective culling (though big game hunting limits based on monitoring of herd populations) eliminates the threat.
You get hunters to pay for the privilege of keeping your deer population healthy.
Win-Win.

Earlier thread. From the panic you wouldn't know this is a decades old issue, dates to the 60s, Kind of like global warming, soon to morph back to the global cooling fears of the 70s.
