Mutant Deer with Flesh Bubbles Sparks US Outbreak Fears
Originally Published 4 months ago — by UNILAD
A recent surge in deer with flesh bubbles in the US is caused by deer fibroma, a virus that results in wart-like growths, likely exacerbated by climate change. These conditions are not contagious to humans and typically resolve on their own, though severe cases may require euthanasia. The rise in such animal mutations is linked to warmer weather enabling disease-carrying ticks and mosquitoes to thrive.
