[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) I've seen entire herds with those weird tumors. I think I heard it's some type of prion disease... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RudeDuner@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) Those are cutaneous fibromas or papilomas. Like big warts. Viral in nature. CWD has no external symptoms beyond the listless "zombie" stage. It just turns the brain into swiss cheese. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 6 months ago (2 children) I see, so I was thinking of two different diseases. How do people who eat venison avoid prions? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RudeDuner@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (2 children) You can send the neck lymph nodes and brain stem in for testing by your state wildlife agency. Wait for results. Honestly there are a lot of hunters, not all, that just don't give a shit. No documented cases of CWD crossing into humans yet. I don't take the chance. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2024/04/24/chronic-wasting-disease-feared-in-deaths-of-2-hunters-who-ate-deer-meat/ I think it has, or they think it has. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 6 months ago That's some scary stuff. Most hunters are probably the type to say science is just a liberal conspiracy, so it doesn't surprise me. No prions for me, thanks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) You gamble... I stopped hunting and eating deer because of it. It's not worth the risk to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) That's crazy. I grew up eating venison all the time. Maybe it wasn't as widespread back then. Now I'm happily vegetarian. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) It wasn't at all. Now there are states and counties in some states with deer populations showing like 1 in 4 or even 50%+ of the entire population having CWD. I know the northern states, those populations are in real bad shape now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 6 months ago Damn, that's crazy.
