[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4711240, member: 2805"] I would suspect 'prion load' would be the major factor in contracting the disease.... For example, eat a deer which has just contracted the disease (and tests negative) but prion load is low to negligible in the muscles and you would be fine. Eat the brain from a CWD deer and I bet you would be the first documented case of cwd transmitted to humans. Again, this is just speculation.... there are a LOT of unknowns when it comes to all the prion diseases. Expect a LOT more positives to come from the hot zone. ... I just hope we haven't seeded the rest of the state prior to this year's detection Sent from my SCH-R970X using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
