What's your point atlasman? I hope this is not another overreaction to an uncertain problem.
Let me first say that it appears to me that no testing of any kind should be done to lab mice or rats. The filthy little buggers die from everything!!!
(lol)
Seriously, "No known transfer of the disease has ever been found in humans." This is a powerfull statement. Overreaction causes stupid acts to take place. I had heard for instance, that an area of Minnisota where the disease was believed to be, allowed hunters, and even invited them, to eliminate the entire deer population!
Seems to be limited to animals in the deer family. Deer, elk, moose. I talked to a G&F biologist here in Wyoming and she said they were surprised Antelope don't get it. They even fed infected brains to the Antelope and did not get it. Not one!
So I figure, so long as I'm not in the deer family . . .

Here's the mostimportant thing, infected animals are easy to see and detect. I've seen several of them. They are listless, often have chunks of hair gone, do not spook at human presence, often are obviously emaciated which means that rib and hip bones are sticking out. You see one, and call the local Game warden to have them put it down.
What scares me the most, is overreacting to an unknown. And, they have no idea how to cure it. They have discovered that it is most likely transfered from animal to animal through tainted ground, dirt. Like that disease that pigs get.
Keep hunting, eating your harvest, and looking for animals that show obvious signs and you will live long and healthy.
