The transmission of CWD to other species such as squirrel monkeys and humanized mice has been observed in experimental settings.[4]

“Humanized mice”
This is probably less insidious than it sounds, but can anyone elaborate on what this means?
A humanized mouse is a genetically modified mouse that has functioning human genes, cells, tissues and/or organs.[1] Humanized mice are commonly used as small animal models in biological and medical research for human therapeutics.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanized_mouse

Not encouraging, I’ve been talking to the hunters in my life about this issue, so I’ll have to add the observed-laboratory-conditions-transmission to the convo…
This is a crime right? Knowingly distributing contaminated food.
I’d be interested in hearing a lawyer’s take, I could see it going either way. I bet it depends on the state tbh
I would classify it as biological warfare, but at least they provided full disclosure regarding the dangerous defects.
What kind of casual Facebook marketplace person would want this? Someone with nefarious intentions?
“Mwah-ah-ah I can feed this to my neighbor’s dog who barks all day. This will make him quiet.”
It might matter that it’s possibly not transmissible to humans? I’m not sure.
Looks like testing done by the CDC does suggest that CWD is transmissible to humans (in the form of CJD)
This is the zombie deer disease, right? Honestly, why would you even risk it…
For the uninitiated, here’s a good podcast series by the BBC about mad cow disease and zombie deer:
It can take a decade or 2 for prions to damage your brain enough to notice, after that it’s a pretty rapid spiral into death.
That’s a pretty shit gamble.
Don’t prion diseases require like, full autoclave sterilization? All the equipment used to process this deer would be contaminated
Decontaminating prions is a multi-step process that includes autoclaving. Autoclaving alone is not sufficient. Prions are hard to deal with.
Autoclaves can be used in parts of the process for cleaning heat resistant instruments, but you still have to treat them with sodium hydroxide or highly concentrated bleach afterwards.
Imo unless it’s something you can’t do without, just throw it all in the incinerator.

Some people just can’t bear throwing anything into the trash. I wonder if these people are tier-10 hoarders too.
Verona? This is Wisconsin, isn’t it?
Anyone else got a “Verona” in their state?
Italy?
Italy lol
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
(Somewhat appropriate, no?)
Kentucky has one
There’s one in Virginia.
