CWD Positive

I ate the one I shot 3 years ago. Was eating it before the letter came back. It's your choice but I would eat it. I wouldn't eat any of the organs but I usually don't eat that anyways. Nobody talks about the meat in the supermarket because it is good...that's what the FDA wants you to believe. Not this cat!!! Our fish are also loaded with contaminates...mercury, pcb's etc. We still eat them, not saying everyday but all in moderation.

Yeah, no bid deal. They are just lying dormant in the soil. Let's brush it off.

I'll be fine, and I tend not to just worry about myself. The future of deer hunting and prions is debatable.

Thats the way I look at it too. Unfortunately most of the public doesn't fully understand the issue. Thomas Gray said it best... Ignorance is Bliss.

Tap water could be what truly kills but I still drink it and give it too my kids. Some water pipes I feel are stained inside with embedded poisons . Other things will kill ya first before human cwd

I always find it interesting the same guys that tell me they are afraid to eat CWD infected deer are many times the same ones that also hunt without any type of safety harness.

If you ain't gonna eat it you shouldn't be out there hunting.

Its a little different than that. Let's say you're the first person to contracy human CWD. Many people die as a result. You are essentially ground zero. Some of us aren't just thinking about ourselves.

I agree though. There is no excuse to not wear a harness, lineman belt, etc.

Wouldn't bother me... But I would not blame someone for not eating it.

I think deboning your deer meat and using the proper field dressing gloves will help prevent this from crossing over to a person. However, you always have that "guy" who might possibly eat organs, brain, etc. In that case, it's definitely possible we could see the first human CWD case in the future.

However from an eating standpoint, I seriously doubt this could become an food borne illness and cross over to contaminate people in that way.

I wouldn't eat it. I doubt anything would happen since there are plenty of people who have eaten CWD deer and nobody (that we know of) has contracted the disease. I might be one of those people as I have eaten deer from the CWD zone that were not tested and my processor cuts up deer that come from the CWD zone.

That said, there is a human prion disease so it is possible a human could be infected and if you know that the deer had CWD it isn't worth taking the chance.

I agree. If you know it has CWD just ditch it. It might be more mental, but you would have the piece of mind.

If prions are scary and not to be taken lightly then why keep eating venison now?

People have been eating CWD deer for quite sometime, no one has died. What makes you think it will start harming/killing humans now?
