I think my wife has it.Wasn't there an issue years ago with "Mad Cow Disease" and humans could catch it and would effect the brain?
Biden Burgers!!!!Start feeding it to the Senate and Congress then !
Not nice , BUT FUNNY!I think my wife has it.
That must be where the term "Mad Cow Millennial" came from!!!THE YOUNGer GENERATION ,,all sampled it
I am in an area in northern Idaho (Unit 14 & 15) that had a few mulie's test positive for CWD last year.
Idaho is showing concern over it spreading to other herds including elk. Even though IdF&G will send a free CWD test kit (You have to cut out the lymphnodes) they are saying test results will take 6 weeks. Sooo...if you pay to have a whitetail / elk butchered and a 20-30 pounds of specialty sausage, you are into it for $300 - $500. Then what do you do if the test is positive six weeks later?
Personally, if the animal looks healthy I'm gonna eat it. When I start to see cougars with CWD symptoms, then I'll get concerned (90% of a cougars diet is deer / ungulate).
The good o days! HahaMaybe It could become the next cv-19 " pandemic"
I wouldn't intentionally do it-- in CO there are areas you are required to get your animal tested-- if it pops hot they offer you another tag if you turn your animal in. They recommend not eating it just to be safe.
We used to drink from a hose, not wear our seat belts or bike helmets, and play outside in the dirt--- and we seem to still be alive----- "you do you"
Don't believe that, if it's been vaxed and has all 20 boosters it's truly been hosed!As long as it has been vaccinated and had all 20 booster shots then it is ok
Just shoot him and let the coyotes do their thing I guessWhat do, you do if the hunter looks poor and confused?
Good read! The link to that Calgary study in the article that found a "potential" pathway is a little concerning, but I also recall seeing some years back that human prions had a "loop" in the protein structure that more or less protected us from the cervid prions deforming ours. Not sure if mixing mouse with human DNA could have broken this loop and therefore given a false indication in their test, but I also haven't dug too far into the methodology or full results either.Here's a good article on CWD & humans: https://honest-food.net/chronic-wasting-disease-and-humans/
Summary:
Only BSE, mad cow disease, has jumped from another species to humans.
Humans have eaten deer, sheep and other animals who get prion diseases for millions of years and those diseases have not jumped to humans.
Testing may be available in your area. You may want to have your harvest tested before you consume it.
You need to make the decision.
