[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5339017, member: 17"] Salt licks are great for everything but CWD. The ultra-high salinity of the lick itself tends to kill most microbes (salt crystals burst their cell walls). However, CWD isn't a living thing. It is just a short string of amino acids. And it turns out an ultra-high salinity environment actually makes the amino acid bonds stronger, not weaker. In essence, a high salt environment makes transmission of the disease MORE likely instead of less likely, and since most deer in the area will all lick the same salt lick, and CWD prions are certainly carried in saliva...
