Yeah id still be sh*thing my pants cause Idk... maybe I get prions. Even if I wash myself they will be just fine. They are horrific and nothing more... prions are horror
I used to live in Montcalm County, & I have seen a deer with CWD in pretty much the same exact circumstances. It was walking aimlessly through the road by my house. I called the county because I didnt know what else to do.
"There is no evidence that humans can contract the disease by eating infected deer" . . . that's what they said about Mad Cow Disease, at least at first that's what they said.
@Deadfish King Technically there are no variants on mad cow disease. Mad cow disease comes from weirdly shaped proteins called prions which cause healthily shaped proteins to take on the same shape as them. Once prions reach the brain, you're pretty screwed because they'll bend up all your brain proteins. Chronic wasting disease is a result of prions as well, but it's weirdly shaped deer proteins instead of cow proteins.
@@andynonymous6769 finally someone says actual scientific fact and not just "virus" or some "radiation" bullshit. It's literally just basic biochemistry.
@Grace Garlock Don't cut yourself on that edge. Humans are flawed, sure, but you are able to write and send this message thanks to the genius of homo sapiens. You do also know that we prevented the death of many species, right? And besides, do you really think animals wouldn't behave in the same way if we were in their place? Survival and wellbeing of our own species is incredibly important. Though i agree that we often take it too far.
@@KnightspaceORG i think that is what most people forget, i mean, look at chimpanzees. i hate them, they’re horrible, they get pleasure out of torturing each other and fighting- i honestly would not care if they went extinct. the human race will always do bad shit but that’s what intelligence and morality does
This is what happens when a farm feeds the left over deer parts back to the deer. That is how prions accumulate and since they don't break down, they accumulate and accumulate in the local environment. When will these farms learn ffs?
Deer are herbivores, why on earth would they be fed meat? It would wreak havoc in their digestive system. They are browsers, like goats, they eat shrubs and leaves and palatable grasses. I seriously doubt any farms feed "leftover deer parts" to them
These are prions right? If they're prions then they're almost in destructible in the soil no? Other animals, water, and plants can move prions around over time right? And prions will make more prions if they come in contact with normal proteins? So shouldn't they be like, actively hunted down and burned in blast furnaces with soil scooped up and melted too?
Yes, they are prions. They are malformed proteins and not alive like a virus so they are extremely hard to get rid of. Mad Cow Disease is similar and DID end up jumping to humans. CWD could truly be a threat to humanity if it ever came to it. No more venison for me lol
I feel so bad for these animals, and so scared for humanity. Scientists haven’t found out if it can even spread to humans- knowing that one person could get CWD and everyone in the world could go into an epidemic so fast. It’s terrifying. I am praying to Jesus and God that we will find a cure before it gets even worse.
To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. However, some animal studies suggest CWD poses a risk to certain types of non-human primates, like monkeys, that eat meat from CWD-infected animals or come in contact with brain or body fluids from infected deer or elk.
I think people setting out salt and mineral blocks should think about what they are doing with cwd present in there areas, I know they are trying to help but it might be doing more harm then anything,when a deer with Cwd licks a block it can pass through others real quick and deer know where natural minerals come from and show next generations where they are also,it’s hard not to help them but think wisely people especially if you love the beautiful species.
This is similar to the issue of stores in small towns putting out bowls of water for dogs. If a dog is sick and drinks from it it will contaminate the rest of those animals that drink from it. Never let your dog use a strange dog bowl.
Even if humans can't contract CWD I still wouldn't eat meat from a deer that's tested positive. I sure hope that all hunters test all of their game not just deer, before consuming.
Here in Europe we had a disease of cattle (a ruminant like deer) named Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) that did transmit to humans - & some died of it(!) It sounds an awful lot like what you are calling CWD. :-/
it did ! especially in britain, from what i believe. the human variant - the one contracted from eating cattle infected with bse - is known as vCJD, or variant Creutzfeldt-jakob disease there are also three other types ; iatrogenic CJD, familial CJD, and sporadic CJD i’ve been reading up and studying CJD for a little while now, as i plan to enter the medical field one day. it’s,, a terrifying disease, with no cure, and is invariably fatal.
BSE and CJD (the human variant) have been in North America for awhile now, it is a prion disease as well. Everybody, not just some, have died of CJD. Our immune systems cannot identify or defend against it
@@sleep.starveddand the vCJD cases are very underdiagnosed too! Medics often misdiagnose it as another neurodegenerative condition which they consider to be more likely. Appendicitis and tonsillitis surgery results show that about one in two thousand British people who were around during the beef scandal are carriers of the abnormal prions. Scary stuff!
It basically is BSE. It's also named vCJD, or just CJD for non-consumed transmission. It's named a lot of different things, but the core protein behind it is the same.
I'm 61 filled all 5 tags every year in South Texas since I was 11 never got sick from deer meat and I'm diabetic I even kicked covids butt 2 times so I'm not worried only problem iv had with deer meat is I eat too much and run out before the next season
Prions can take up to 50 years to cause disease in humans. They aren’t alive like bacteria. They don’t reproduce like viruses. They’re just mis-folded proteins that when present cause the other proteins around them to also fold the wrong way. All it takes is coming into contact with them. Because they can take so long to cause disease, you wouldn’t necessarily know if you had an issue or even had them present in your system. Something else could kill you first.
Prion diseases are 100% fatal, no cure. Low likelihood of catching it, but it's not like a flu that can be beaten. It's almost like a form of Alzheimer's. Stay safe out there.
The fact that you guys are trying to meme the poor deer that’s being eaten and rotting from the inside out ☠️ Hope the deer is having a good time now without the suffering
The farms with that cwd all the deers will be killed wich is extreamly sad because some will treat deers just like dogs in the family well most boddle fead the fawns makeing them just like a member of their own family
Yes it can spread. It uses Prions. Prions are even more resistant than viruses and bacteria. Prions are at the top of the food chain. Many species of bacteria and viruses are all lower on the food chain. Gram positive and gram negative bacteria are less resistant/ weaker than Prions.
@@K.Pershing wPrions are misshapen proteins. Of course they aren’t alive. But my statement about their resistance rank being the top of the chain is correct nonetheless.
@@keiiikomegumi this is a free comment section so please, fuck off somewhere with your overused “no one cares”. no one has to care but you care what other people think so that’s why you’ll always be irrelevant.
If it ever did spread to humans I don't think it would result in a Zombie apocalypse mostly because the host would be driven insane and would be more like a Hollow from Dark Souls.
It's sad to see animals suffer like that but also without predators killing and eating the sick and the weak animals it's like this cwd desease will keep spreading and I do think if the desease keeps spreading amound the animals mentioned in this video I think allot of the population will be wiped out then none of the hunters won't be able to hunt these deer elks and mooses anymore it's like pretty soon all we will have left is the taxidermy ones left to look at
It started in the wild this is basically mad cow disease for deer and has existed forever they have the same effects and this disease affects literally every Mammal on Earth it will have an effect on a human if you consume the meat of a infected deer but otherwise you won't be affected.
So I have a neighbor that consumed deer meat 1 year before the Doctors told him its a 1 in a million chance that he contracted prions disease. Hes since passed.
Well the people that are raising deer is that where it came from and then the wild deer got exposed just a question any other question and where is the first year that they actually found that had the disease was it a wild deer or was it deer that they were raising and breeding on a farm
April 2024: According to a new study, published last week in the journal Neurology, that long-discussed and frequently dreaded transmission of CWD from hunter-harvested deer into human beings might have actually occurred in 2022. The study title alone is enough to perk the ears of anyone who's followed the CWD epidemic over the years. "Two Hunters from the Same Lodge Afflicted with Sporadic CJD," it reads. "Is Chronic Wasting Disease to Blame?" The authors go on to highlight "a cluster of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) cases after exposure to chronic wasting disease (CWD)-infected deer." Those findings, they say, are "suggestive of potential prion transmission from CWD-infected deer to humans." CJD is better known for its association with Mad Cow Disease. Like CWD, mad cow disease is transmitted in cows through mis-folded proteins called prions. And like CWD, it causes a cascade of brain-related maladies that ultimately lead to death in the bovines unlucky enough to contract it. Mad Cow Disease has been shown to transmit to human beings through the consumption of infected beef. When the disease manifests in people, it's referred to as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The recent paper describes an unnamed hunter who contracted CJD after regular consumption of venison from deer infected with Chronic Wasting Disease. "In 2022, a 72-year-old man with a history of consuming meat from a CWD-infected deer population presented with rapid-onset confusion and aggression," Those are classic symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. "Despite aggressive symptomatic treatment of seizures and agitation, the patient’s condition deteriorated and he died within a month of initial presentation," the study goes on to state. "The diagnosis was confirmed postmortem as sporadic CJD."
Your statement makes no sense. They would still be able to distinguish the subtle textures and shades of leaf matter from a regular human. The camo works regardless of color.
People, they could keep the hunting ranches open and maybe pay hunters who are able to kill deer with cwd. If they don't, then it'll spread and possibly get to us humans.
@Pierce Moore not yet, but they've been able to spread it to mice in a lab. Humans couldn't get Mad Coe disease at first either, then look what happened. All it takes is for enough people to eat the prions consistently over years.
I’ve seen this movie this is how it’s going to begin I’m glad the deer 🦌 here in Australia don’t have CWD and no rabies and a 0 tolerance with our customes and quarantine officers.
The unfunny thing is that a contaminated animal is more likely to get shot, due to the lack of awareness to it's surrounding... Or is it a good thing??? 🙄
@average joe bad thing, since it's hunters that would shoot them. Then, they'll eat the animal unaware of the disease. But at this point it's unlikely they're not aware of that.
@@The8B1tWarrior Prion deceases already exist in people. I believe Alzheimers is also one. But at the moment the prions that affect deer do not affect people.
Take a lesson from the mad cow disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathies). This proved that these type of diseases are be able to transfer onto humans if given enough time and exposure.
They need to collect a large number of deer and quarantine them for a few years. Maybe 20.000 of them then eradicate the deer population. This is spreading so much because of how many deer there are
