[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5649450, member: 17"] For what it's worth, I mentioned the natural occurrence of CJD in humans (CJD) because about one in 1 million people get CJD when their body accidentally begins producing the prion that causes CJD. The amino acid code of this naturally occurring prion is known. People who got CJD from eating Mad Cow infected beef have a different amino acid coding for their prions. That's why that disease is categorized as CJDv. The small "v" is for "variant" - the CJD prion transferred to humans from Mad Cow has a slightly different coding than the naturally occurring variety. Because CWD also has a slightly different coding than naturally occurring JCD and Mad Cow, any person infected with CJD from eating infected venison would also produce a CJD prion with a unique coding, hence we would know where they got the disease. And so far, no one has gotten the disease from CWD-infected meat. [/QUOTE]
