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.

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.
