Does if have to be something from the CNS that you eat, like the brain or bone marrow or can you get it from cooked deer backstrap?


If it's like every other prion disease, it has to have CNS material. The problem with Mad Cow was that the UK was still including it in ground beef and other processed meats at the time, as well as feeding it to the cows, exponentially worsening the outbreak.

I have known about CJD since the early 80's. We laughed at the idea of eating squirrel brains and never heard of anyone actually getting it. This thread is crazy with all the people who have been impacted. There is something going on.

I would say, do not use the same meat saw to cut off that deer rack, and then use it to cut up the rest of the deer at the very least.

Commercial meat processing now days uses increasingly aggressive ways to strip the last scraps of meat from spinal columns. This can result in bits of spinal tissue being included in ground beef, increasing the risk of prion contamination.
The best way to process your own deer meat and decrease the risk of disease transmission is to debone your deer. Eliminate using saws to cut through bones/spine.
