[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5678113, member: 17"] Chlorine dioxide won't do anything because the CWD prion is not a living thing. CWD came from a research facility in Colorado. After sheep carrying scrapie (CWD in sheep) were held in the facility, mule deer were moved in. That is where scrapie made the jump from sheep to deer. Not realizing the mule deer were infected, after the research project was over, the mule deer were released back into the wild. That is where CWD in mule deer, elk, and whitetailed deer comes from. There is no "cure" and never will be for prion diseases. The only answer is to let Nature handle the problem. Eventually, animals resistant to the disease will develop, and over many generations, predominate. That is how Nature has worked for a billion years or so. [/QUOTE]
