re: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease **updated pg 5

Deboning your deer saves cooler space, and makes disposing of trimmings at home easier. So it's convenient and worthwhile in any case.
I believe prion diseases invoke so much fear because they're totally untreatable and rob you of your dignity. Most people have never knowingly eaten brains (who knows what's in potted meat,etc), so giving up eating brains isn't an imposition for them. My dad used to eat squirrel brains, and hog brains scrambled in eggs. If I ever did, I was too young to remember it.
