BREAKING

Wisconsin confirms that over 10% of its deer population is now infected with Chronic Wasting Disease 

It’s a fatal prion disease.

First-time detections have now spread into multiple new counties.

DJ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wasting_disease or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wasting_disease ;

Chronic wasting disease (CWD), sometimes called zombie deer disease, is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) affecting deer. TSEs are a family of diseases thought to be caused by misfolded proteins called prions and include similar diseases such as BSE (mad cow disease) in cattle, Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, and scrapie in sheep.^[2] Natural infection causing CWD affects members of the deer family. In the United States, CWD affects mule deer, white-tailed deer, red deer, sika deer, elk, bison, antelope, caribou, and moose.^[3] The transmission of CWD to other species such as squirrel monkeys and humanized mice has been observed in experimental settings.^[4]
