I've never looked into it, how did CWD first get introduced to the deer/elk population?


It’s actually a terrifying tale of government incompetence. Colorado fish and game were studying a form of sheep scrapie (a prion disease in sheep) in deer in the late 1970’s. The deer escaped the research area, infected local populations, and 50 years later here we are.

Very much akin to Lyme disease and it’s possible origination near a U.S. facility at plum island.
