"Potential Link Between CWD-Infected Venison and Fatal Human Disease Raises Concerns"

A new medical study suggests that Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a deadly and highly contagious disease affecting deer, may have evolved to affect humans who consume tainted meat, with two hunter deaths in Wyoming possibly linked to the disease. While CWD has only been recently found in the northwest corner of Alabama, local hunters are concerned about its potential impact on the deer population and the hunting industry. More research is needed to definitively establish a link between CWD and human health risks.
