MS Dept of Health warns

According to the Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance, CWD affects only cervids (hoofed animals in the cervidae family such as deer, elk, and moose).

The World Health Organization says no evidence. I wouldn't risk it but let's let the facts speak here.

Correct, there hasn’t been a case yet of it transferring into a human but I ain’t gonna be the first.

Agree. I think initially mad cow disease was supposed to NOT affect humans too.

Non human.

So was HIV. So was BSE. So was Anthrax.

Many other human diseases came from non-human sources: LINK

Diseases mutate, and it’s probably just a matter of time with CWD. The scariest part is that CWD won’t be discovered to have mutated to a human disease for years after people have become susceptible to the mutated CWD, much like BSE.

Got a freezer full of it from within 25 miles.

My father in law has 2 freezers full of 10 deer and hog he’s had processed. He hunts 1 mike from the location that deer was found.

Don't eat it.

Well, I’m sure he shot all those deer and was just saving them for a rainy day and never snacked on any. It’s a little late for that.

But seriously, I know there could be issues and no one really knows yet.

However, you would think a bunch of people up north would be sick or have gotten sick from eating tainted meat.
