Default RE: chronic wasting disease

Here you go man, I pulled this off of MN's DNR site.

Typical signs of the disease include drooping head or ears, poor body condition (body looks emaciated in the late stages), tremors, stumbling, increased salivation (drooling), difficulty swallowing, or excessive thirst or urination. Don't eat meat from animals that look sick or ill. Don't eat the brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes. Dress the animal properly -- minimize handling of brain and spinal tissues, wear rubber gloves when field dressing carcasses and wash hands and instruments thoroughly after field dressing is complete.

Pretty general stuff, but maybe it will help.
