CDC warns deer can pass tuberculosis to hunters

Bovine tuberculosis is rare among strains of the disease, representing fewer than 2 percent of U.S. cases of the disease, according to CNN, and has mostly been eliminated in commercial cattle but is still found in bison, deer and elk. The most common cause of infection is eating or drinking unpasteurized dairy products.
Like other strains, its symptoms include respiratory problems, chest pain, fever and weight loss, but differs from others in that it is resistant to the commonly-used antibiotic pyrazinamide.
The CDC added that while the average person's risk is minimal, anyone working in close proximity to carrier animals or consuming raw dairy products should be regularly screened, according to the CDC.
