Deer in 24 states infected with chronic wasting disease
(CNN)-Chronic wasting disease has been detected in wild deer, elk or moose in 24 states, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warning hunters to avoid handling or eating potentially infected meat.
The disease affects the central nervous system and animals can show signs of drastic weight loss, lack of coordination and listlessness. It can make them more aggressive and less afraid of human contact, the center says.
It's in the same family of disease as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which the CDC describes as "a rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorder."
The center says scientists believe the contagious disease is passed between animals through bodily fluids.
Currently, there is no evidence the disease can spread to humans, but the CDC warned hunters to be cautious around potentially infected animals. *********
Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease to Humans(1)
The Fore tribe of the Eastern Highlands province of the south-east Asia nation once ritually consumed the brains of dead tribespeople, rapidly spreading a brain affliction similar to ‘mad cow disease’ that threatened to wipe out the population.
Although the ritual was banned in the 1950s, the tribe has undergone a rapid genetic mutation that protects against the condition and has ended the disease. The chronic wasting disease, called kuru, was caused by prions, the unusual folding of brain proteins that also causes ‘mad cow disease’, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, or CJD. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/papuanewguinea/6603676/Brain-eating-tribe-could-help-find-treatment-for-mad-cow-disease.html ****************
"I've eaten a lot of strange foods. Yes, I know there are varying defintions for strange food from culture to culture. I'd define a "weird" food as something you wouldn't see in a typical American grocery store, or something the majority of American population hasn't tried.
I seriously think I'd try ALMOST anything other than brains. I think brain just shouldn't be eaten. Mainly because it's a great way to contract spongiform encephalopathy (chronic wasting disease, CJD/madcow)."(2)

I wonder about this and dogs or coyotes. My dog found a dead deer under the snow from a coyote dinner. I didn't realize shamefully what that all was.
We do a lot to keep animals from the goats and farm dogs.

Unless you tan hides with brain there's not much chance of contracting the disease is my guess.

I don't think I found the head. There was a leg and what was left of the mid body.
I see these coyote more often. They spook easily but I watch out for my leashed dog. We have less cats too. Some dude was also burrying those cats. He an asshole,that likes to shoot animals.

Hmm...We used to add blood before it was banned to our milk herd ration to increase the protein right around the time of the mad cow scare, and blood passes thru the brain...and I doubt cows contracted the disease from brains, but I suppose the blood&bone meal could have included brains.

Our goats would eat dog food. They go crazy for meat. Not true herbivours.

I've seen squirrels harvesting bugs from parked car radiators.

Let's clear up some of the pathogen ignorance in this thread.
CWD and Bovine spongiform encephalopathy are not the same thing.
CWD CAN NOT be transmitted to any other animals than Cervids.
Dogs cannot get it.
Cows cannot get it.
We cannot get it.
Only cervids (antlered deer family) can get it.
