RE: Welcome to my nightmare
Have to stand with Bowfanatic on this one.
CWD has beeen around for hundreds of years. First found in sheep. Then in cows as Mad Cow Disease. The British killed a bunch of good cows as far as I' m concerned. Now it' s your deer. If it was an outward sign I found in a deer, I wouldn' t eat it. But I would never have had one tested. Just not that concerned about it. More a problem for deer than people.
Hope thru your research, you find something either positive or negative, but as we speak, it just don' t seem to be a human problem.
Have been sick after a beef dinner before. MCD? don' t know. Also with eating lamb, pork, and chicken. Have never that I recall been sick after eating venison.
You want to see something really scarey, enroll in your local university and take Microbiology or Dairy Science 401! You will never pick that cookie off the floor and eat it again.
Just not concerned about CWD from a consumption standpoint.
Like someone else on HuntingNet stated. " just my .02 worth, there' s .98 leftover"
good luck
