The disease is not necessarily fatal to turkeys, but if the lesions are severe, they can cause blindness in the animal and affect a bird’s ability to swallow. Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife photo

This is just one of the photos of a diseased turkey.. I just thought I would share it so others will be able to get some idea on what the can look like.. As stated though that some do not show any sign hardly.. Still safe to eat however and here at least the wildlife officials would like to know about it if you get one for a few samples to study on it..
