[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5649420, member: 17"] Naturally occurring Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) afflicts 1 in 1,000,000 people. Mad Cow Disease (MCD) infected humans (CJDv) in Europe at a rate of around 1 in 200,000 who ate infected beef. So far, I suspect far more than 200,000 people have eaten CWD infected deer meat, yet no one has gotten sick. That doesn't mean it [B]can't[/B] be transmitted to humans, but suggests that if it is, it is far less infectious to humans than MCD. Would I personally eat a deer that tested positive for CWD? Yes, as long as the deer did not show signs of the affliction (suggesting the prion load in that deer is low). If a deer was obviously sick, no. [/QUOTE]
