"Star Wars: Hunters - Exciting Free Shooter Now on Switch"

Star Wars: Hunters, a new Overwatch-like free-to-play shooter, has launched on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch. Despite its fun gameplay and Star Wars-themed characters, the game suffers from limited platform availability, simple mechanics, and performance issues on the Switch. Microtransactions are present but not overly intrusive. While it may not appeal to hardcore shooter fans, it offers enjoyable, action-packed matches for Star Wars enthusiasts.

"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.

Potential Link Between Chronic Wasting Disease and Fatal Human Illness Raises Concerns

Viral articles claiming that two hunters died after consuming chronic wasting disease (CWD)-infected venison are based on a research abstract that does not provide evidence of CWD transmission to humans. The abstract attempts to link two men's deaths from sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease to a population of CWD-infected deer they supposedly hunted and ate, but experts emphasize that there is no proven connection. The prevalence of CWD in deer populations is low, and there is no conclusive evidence of CWD infecting humans. The spread of misinformation has caused concerns in the hunting community, but wildlife experts stress the need for careful and evidence-based investigation into the potential risks of consuming CWD-infected deer.

"Hunter Fatalities Linked to CWD-Contaminated Venison Consumption"

A new study published in the journal Neurology suggests a potential transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) from infected deer to humans. The study describes cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in hunters who consumed CWD-infected venison, leading to rapid-onset confusion and aggression, ultimately resulting in death. While the causation remains unproven, the findings highlight the serious risks of consuming CWD-infected meat and emphasize the importance of testing deer meat for CWD. The study underscores the need for further research and surveillance to better understand the potential association and its implications for public health.

"Understanding Chronic Wasting Disease: Essential Information for NC Hunters"

Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a highly transmissible disease caused by abnormal proteins in the brain, has been detected in deer in North Carolina, with 11 known cases statewide. The disease leads to weight loss and death in infected animals. While there have been no reported cases of CWD in humans, precautions are being taken to prevent it from entering the human food chain. Hunters are urged to continue testing harvested deer and safely dispose of carcasses to prevent the spread of the disease. Despite the detection of CWD, the overall health of the deer population in Western North Carolina is said to be good, with increased hunting opportunities being considered in certain counties.

"Preventing Disease Outbreak: Hunters Urged to Test and Dispose of Game Properly"

Oregon wildlife officials are urging hunters to test deer and elk meat for chronic wasting disease, a fatal disease that affects cervid animals such as deer, elk, and moose. The disease was detected in northern Idaho, just 30 miles from the Oregon border, raising concerns about its potential spread. Hunters can have their meat tested at check stations, taxidermists, and meat processing facilities. While there is currently no evidence of humans contracting the disease from infected animals, precautions are advised due to the risk of other diseases caused by similar prions.
