Default CWD-SPREAD BY SALIVA-BE CAREFUL

Check out the story below

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,218282,00.html

Don't know if it is old or newto some in the field but its news to me as to how CWD canbe spread. This is really going to put the boots to those states that allow baiting for deer as thatwould seem to be an almost guaranteed method of spreading thedisease.(or have most states stopped it already?)The list of possible deer activities that will cause thetransfer of CWDis mind boggling ifyou consider that they only have to share saliva and these prion things seem to be very durable outside the body.BE EXTRA CAREFULWHEN CLEANING ANY DEER AND ALL PARTS OF THEM, INCLUDING BLOOD AND SALIVA, NOT JUST THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORDTISSUE.Take care all and adjust your actions accordingly. BE SAFE.
