It's Always Something. (IAS)

This is not something that can be cooked out of the deer meat.

What Is A Prion

This is not just a disease in northern deer:

Second Mississippi Deer Tests Positive For CWD As Disease Spreads

[Reily]

When I first glanced at the topic title, I thought it said “beer disease”. There was concern!

[john316]

535 cases now confirmed inside the beltway in DC

I haven’t read up on Prions, but always menat to, because I heard someone say that they can stay dormant for years before causing that fold problem.

Not something to take for granted, I will not eat deer meat.

Prions...

Reminds me of the last 2 episodes of season 2 of Millennium.
(If anyone here remembers that show)

While there have been no reported cases of CWD in people,

Stay calm.
This is another could happen article. - Tom

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).

I would assume this disease could be similarly avoided, being neurological.

G-d gave us these rules for a reason, you know.

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.

CWD and bovine tuberculosis in Wisconsin and northern Michigan have been a known problem for the past decade.......

This is not new news.......

[Bommer]

FINALLY!

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.
