[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4543644, member: 10019"] As this disease spreads the ghastly concern of IT crossing the species barrier might possibly be more than a concern. Personally, I never feared eating venison from areas with CWD. Now, I’m a bit concerned. SCNs comment on the relevance and concern of CWD made me think of this article I read lately. “A study in Canada, where the deer disease also is present, found that macaque monkeys had contracted chronic wasting disease after being fed meat from deer that had tested positive for CWD. The findings are the first known transmissions of the prion disease to a primate from eating infected venison.” [url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/wisconsin/2017/07/07/can-chronic-wasting-disease-jump-humans-concerns-keep-rising/453371001/]https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/loc ... 453371001/[/url] I hate to think I could never eat wild venison again, that’s my biggest fear.
