[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4722584, member: 2805"] What you would do to yourself is VERY different that what you would do to your family.... Would you give your children alcohol, tobacco, or other carcinogens, even though you may use them yourself? Of course not. I kind of view the potential of CWD that way... EVEN IF I were to get CWD from an infected deer, I wouldn't have symptoms for probably a decade or longer. I'm old enough where I realize I'm not going to live forever. And I'm ok with that. But if my 11 y/o little girl got CWD 10 years from now, I could not live with myself watching her die from dementia at age 21. Just not worth the risk (although infinitesimally small) when it comes to the kids. At least my wife is safe- she hates deer meat :) Hopefully in another 5 years we will know for certain that it is impossible for CWD prions to cause CJD in humans. Or we will know for certain that it is possible, and all will be informed how to protect themselves from potential infection. [/QUOTE]
