[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5799732, member: 20583"] As I understand it no, prions are not detectable in meat until the final stage of sickness which is when it kills the deer. Also, prions aren't a living germ like viruses or bacteria. That's why they can't be killed or immunized against. They are an inanimate protein that the deer reacts to. I'm not completely understanding how it works exactly but it seems almost like the deer are allergic to it more so than it attacks them. And apparently it somehow replicates. No idea how that happens and haven't heard a real good explanation for it. I don't know if it reproduces or if the deers genes replicate it. Being inanimate would mean it can't self perpetuate so there must be a source of creation. Otherwise it couldn't spread. It would only wander. That's one huge question I've had the entire time but haven't heard a definitively clear, concise explanation. There might be one but I've not heard it yet. [/QUOTE]
