[QUOTE="Buckskinner, post: 3093671, member: 99929"] Interesting. Wonder how many people who get their deer tested for CWD take their animals to a meat processor? That is one reason I do not think it's transmissible to humans. If it were those meat plants would be a distribution center for the prion to the entire population who would buy meat products from there or get their animals processed there. In hot spot areas such as around Madison, Wisconsin where it is a hotbed of CWD since 2002 there certainly would be a connection by now and evidence of an increase of CJD in the human population surrounding the area. Combine that with no increase anywhere is pretty good evidence to me that it's a species selective disease. Saying this, it's starting to creep east towards where I hunt and there have been a couple positives within a few miles of me. I am going to start getting our deer tested, transmissible or not, I'm not interested in eating sick animals. I do have my wonderings about how accurate the testing is, it is run by the government after all and I'm guessing not the tightest lab protocols... [/QUOTE]
