Correct, it's rare but it has occurred...a few rare case reports of suspected human to human transfer of bird flu.A lot of birds have had avian influenza and that has crossed to humans .
Or, from millions of years of exposure they have evolved to not be affected by ungulate prionsWolves should be tipping over from cwd I would think. Maybe they are careful when they are tearing deer and elk apart though?
And that most butchers would already be dead from CJD.If all tables, grinders, knives, ect…. are considered to have transferable prions if having been exposed to a CWD positive animal.
And many folks who travel from state to state hunting take the meat to butcher shops. The same butcher shops who process farm meat, smoke thanksgiving turkeys, make summer sausage, and ham burger..
Then wouldn’t it be reasonable to believe most folks have already consumed “exposed meat products”?
I watch YouTube videos from butcher shops cutting up white-tailed deer from time to time. They also have videos of processing beef. The butcher shops in every place I’ve been that butcher game also butcher farm animals.
I don’t know that I’d consume a tested positive animal. That’s an individual choice a person needs to make.
I’m just thinking most folks who partake in custom small town butcher shop products have already been exposed.
The throw everything that contacted the game away deal sure invites odd thoughts.
Just curios, has anyone thrown their truck away yet? How about a $600+ backpack?
I’m not soaking my Stone glacier pack in bleach.
Kind of gives those $80 fancy reusable game bags a new feel doesn’t it.
Did you replace your rifle, or soak it in bleach?
Toss all your clothes from that day? $600+ Kuiu Chugach rain gear set?
If you washed your clothes before the test results came back, do you then toss your washer, dryer, and any other clothes that might have been in the load?
I think it would be interesting to hear a detailed description of the handling, field to freezer, of a positive test animal. And then hear the Biologists detailed recommended decontamination protocol.
I’m curious Stalker69’s decon method, but know that would just go south.

68. What you do doesn't matter to me one bit.; you were the one that seemed concerned about me and my family. I just pointed out your flawed logic regarding your apparent fear of eating an animal testing positive for CWD yet trusting a fallible test.Wow, how old are you ? And yes I will stop hunting when I decide it’s time, weather it’s CWD that causes that decision, age, or death I don’t know at this time. But not sure why what I do, makes such a big deal to you ? Why does it ?
How many years have humans been exposed?Or, from millions of years of exposure they have evolved to not be affected by ungulate prions
Scientists and biologists are confident that the disease was very new when it was discovering in captive cervids in the late 60s.Or, from millions of years of exposure they have evolved to not be affected by ungulate prions
What about the test is fallible? It has greater then 99% accuracy in detecting CWD. I'll take those odds.68.

Because any little trace of “ meat” left on or in any little nock or cranny, ( like bolster to blade, grinder tube or plate, etc) will still contain the prions. You may not see it, but it’s still there.So if bleach killed prions in tissue, you would soak your meat in bleach and then eat it? Again, what relevance does weather or not bleach kills prions in flesh have to do with anything?

I could give two sheets about you and your family, you started the personal attack. I just asked how many others had positive tested animals. Again how friken old are you ? Like 18 ?68.

Well, it has not been known to transfer to humans at this time, and no body knows the incubation period, if or when it ever does. All I am saying is I ain’t eating, nor feeding that positive meat to my family or any body else I know.I don’t know why some have a problem with that. I will take the precautions I feel I need, and others do what they want, I am not trying to change any ones opinion. I don’t why some are trying to change mine. Damn.And that most butchers would already be dead from CJD.

Another 18 year old I take it ? Or just someone that thinks he ( she) knows everything ? The meat has been taken care of, but I am willing to donate any future positive animals, to any one that wants it.Wolves should be tipping over from cwd I would think. Maybe they are careful when they are tearing deer and elk apart though?
Ironic response considering you started the interaction in regards to how he treats his family.....I could give two sheets about you and your family, you started the personal attack. I just asked how many others had positive tested animals. Again how friken old are you ? Like 18 ?
Great point, not sure..many primates have evolved eating plants...I think wolves have been roaming the earth longer and in closer contact with wild prey than modern era humans.....my point was that we really don't know. We justIf you subscribe to that theory, wouldn't primates and homo sapiens have naturally selected the same resilience? Same habitat, same prey....
great question.....no ideaHow many years have humans been exposed?
