Oh, about humans and mad cow disease. Yes, at first scientists thought humans were immune from mad cow disease. This was later proved to be untrue. But this was discovered within 10 years of its' discovery. And many of the people infected were known to have eaten "delicasies" such as brains.
CWD has been around Colorado since 1967 and there is still no proof of anyone dying from it. And people have been told to avoid eating things like brains, eyes, spleens, tonsils, etc... like I would want to eat any of those things! <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>
Not to mention that of 1500 deer sampled in the area where CWD was discovered in WI, only 2% of the deer were infected. This is in the "hot zone" within the state. Statewide testing this fall will show how far it has spread.
Nope, until there is proof that CWD is deadly to humans, I will continue my pursuit of whitetails. And enjoy every piece of venison I eat! <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
