'''Zombie''' deer disease: How to prevent it and avoid eating infected meat

"more than 20 states report cases of a brain-wasting animal disease informally called "zombie" deer disease, officials worry that humans could be affected"

I doubt you can even feed the meat to your dogs,,
The article says you can catch the disease from handling road kill,,,

The following is from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

The sensational claim by the article linked above appears to not be correct on transfer of the CWD to humans or other animals according to Mich DNR.

Maybe that's why NASCAR drivers run in circles?

Well if this was really true my family, my dogs, our cat, our 100 plus chickens and the Hogs are all going to turn into zombies now! Woo hoo, lol.
actually we are very safe and make sure that everything we Harvest is clean and healthy.

Ironically, I am banned from ever giving blood because I lived in the UK. Potential CJD risk from Mad Cow disease.
Yet, I have consumed massive amounts of venison in the good ole USA.
So that leads me to believe the risk of CWD is not significant.
