Hunters, check out this article. It seems CWD can<br />be transmitted from infected animal to humans by<br />eating leg muscles.<br /><br /> http://www.foodconsumer.org/777/8/Eating_wild_deer_unsafe.shtml
"WRONG"!!!! There is a big chance of shooting a deer with CWD and you and I eating it!!! "HAVE YOUR DEER TESTED"!!! it is spreading through out the country!!! A few years back it was just a mid west to western problem with Elk and now deer and it is spreading EAST!!!! One deer in connecticut this past hunting season was found to have cwd!!!! Wisconsin has a big problem with it in deer!!!!<br /><br />My friends on a Wyoming hunting trip this year not knowing, brought back infected deer meat, they received a call from the bioligist and they had to throw out a couple hundred pounds of meat!!!Out of the 5 deer they brought back, 2 were infected!!!! i would have thrown all of it away!!!<br /><br />Also does anybody remember that a fella out in the mid west a few years back, was sick and wasting away and his family stated that his main meat source was elk and deer, the family thought it was wasting disease but medical doctors hurried it under the rug so to speak!!! I'm no doctor but I believe it was cwd, who am I to question a doctor!!! Right. Rabies does not exist either. Did you know that Feline Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, Feline Panleukopenia, and Feline Leukemia, were drempt up by a Veterinarian just to get himself some business. Did you know lyme disease is also a myth. It's all one great big animal saving, money making conspiracy.<br /><br />If you think the rewards are worth the risk, eat it. If not, then don't.
Just wait. CWD came to WI via "game farm" deer that were transported from ? The disease spreads rapidly.<br /><br />They used to say the same thing about Mad Cow disease in the UK NOSLEEP.<br />It's kind of sad how they knew for years mad cow was being transmitted by feeding animal by- products back to the cows by our experts at the USDA. Up until 2 years ago they were still allowing slaughter blood to be used in milk replacer for dairy calves. Slaughter blood? Isn't that a by-product? That's how your gubbermint operates when profits get in the way
I agree with you, but know this... Heard a doctor talking about this a year or so ago, Europe has found a way to test for CJD in people by sampling tonsils and something else, I forget (lymph nodes?). They have put estimates at about 15,000 people infected in Europe with CJD. They dont know when/how it will manifest, or if it ever will. Symptoms seem to be related to how big a dose of infective agent was consumed, and when, i.e. a clock is running and it is running faster for those folks that ate the most infectious material.<br /><br />Researchers then went and dug up a bunch of folks that died from Alzheimer and tested their tonsils. Guess what they found? Yup, CJD.<br /><br />At that time, the doctor was saying it is virtually impossible to get an autopsy in the US of someone that has been diagnosed with Alzheimer because of the likelihood CJD will be discovered, and if it is, the entire autopsy facility is immediately condemned, a total 100% loss. If you dont look for it, you cant find it.<br /><br />That article says the disease is transmitted by a prion. In reality, it is not known if prions cause the disease or are a symptom of it. Researchers are arguing both ways. Either way, the prions (pieces of mutant protein) should be avoided, and the best way to do that is to avoid eating an infected animal.<br /><br />If it turns out the prion is the cause of the disease, it is the first and only infectious protein known to man, and we dont have a clue how it infects, what the mechanism is, or why it happens. Up until now, all infections have been either viral or bacterial. There are very strong arguments as to why a protein cannot infect, but at the end of the day, we just dont know what is going on.
