There is NO DEFINITIVE causal link to CWD , just data that the person POTENTIALLY consumed deer infected with CWD. Circumstantial at best which in the medical epidemiological CANNOT be stated as definitive.
"CJD may be classified based on the mode of transmission. Sporadic CJD, the most common type (∼85%), is due to misfolding of normal PrP isoforms with no apparent triggers."
"Infectious CJD accounts for less than 1% of cases, and it arises from prion transmission by an external source. Subtypes of infectious CJD include kuru, iatrogenic CJD, and variant CJD. Kuru is a disease of Papua New Guinea's Fore people, who consumed the brains of dead relatives as part of ritualistic cannibalism before the practice was banned in the 1950s."
"CJD affects about 1 individual per million per year worldwide. Approximately 350 cases are diagnosed annually in the United States. Sporadic CJD is the most common form of human prion disease. The condition has a mean onset age of 62, although it has also been reported in younger and older age groups"
"Inherited CJD
Genetic CJD has phenotypic variability that may be attributed to the low penetrance of PRNPmutations. Patients with genetic CJD are usually younger than individuals with sporadic CJD, manifesting behavioral and cognitive changes initially, and incoordination and movement abnormalities over the next few months. A family history of similar neurologic manifestations may be elicited.
Inherited CJD is fatal, though the duration of illness varies individually. For example, Gerstmann–Straussler–Scheinker syndrome has a slow progression, and death may be delayed for up to 10 years.[32]"
