New info on Chronic Wasting Disease

[Old Rooster]

Just found this my wife read it first about Chronic Wasting Disease:

2 hunters may have died of prion disease from eating contaminated deer meat, researchers say

A new report calls for further study into a possible link between chronic wasting disease in deer and a rare and deadly brain disease in humans.

Rare and fatal brain disease in two deer hunters heightens concerns about chronic wasting disease (CWD)

A team of researchers at University of Texas Health Science Center said the cases hint at a potential contamination from infected venison. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says link is unlikely.

I posted this a few weeks ago. Rooster be careful what you post off of the internet. This Forum has some members that like to Kill the Messenger on stories like in the Roman days.

I think though that we can all agree if eating our prey is deadly. There us no reason to hunt and no real reason to own guns. The question is how far do you trust the left. Some thing to ponder.

We all should wear facemasks when hunting

Here is an interesting article on CWD …

What They're Not Telling You About CWD

Scientists found through their research that CWD is no different than a well-known disease that affects sheep that was passed to cervids.

USA TODAY put an article today from the CDC that said that the stories from earlier in April were wrong and the hunters didn't die from CWD. but you take it for what it is worth coming from the gov.
it doesn't even cross my mind when eating venison, mine is totally deboned.

My limited understanding, with any of the "prion" related diseases, you need to avoid brain tissue and spinal cord. Whether it's Kuru, mad cow, CJD or CWD. Again I have a limited understanding.

I just saw that a few hours ago…..getting a bit scary! It's pretty much everywhere in Wyoming……and in several different species of game!

Though as previously mentioned, we bone out all of our meat…..and don't eat the brain!

I understand that it causes seizures and twitches……now I have an excuse for misses! memtb

Ok, let's all take deep breath. There is NO causal definitive link. Actual real science is no longer a standard that researchers honor and are compelled to follow as personal ethics and integrity.

CWD was first identified in 1960!. So 60+ years later, studied to absolute death, these researchers have now determined there is a link? BS. This is complete garbage science, heck, not even science. IMO, designed to attack hunting not providing any actual science whatsoever.

This is no difference than the "science" in last several years. Every "coronavirus" was "presumed" covid completely disregarding true science. Just because a "disease" is based upon a protein prion, it DOES NOT mean the diseases are commonly linked. Again, sensationalized science or National Inquirer headline UFO type BS.

There will be more of these garbage studies to stack deer hunting with hope to reduce participation. These are well designed attacks on the hunting heritage.

Like Dvddad said fake news. Typical garbage from the eft. We might as well believe guns kill people. We know they can not because they can not move with out our help.
