CWD Myths

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a deadly illness in white-tailed deer and other members of the deer family, called cervids.
The disease has been found in Missouri and is slowly spreading. MDC is working with conservation partners to find cases of CWD and limit its spread.

From Missouri, My brother died from CJD. The neurologist at Barnes Hospital St Louis believes Mike acquired it from an infected deer. He traveled the Ozarks for his business

[@ericschmuecker348]

Very sorry he passed in such a way. Was your brother a hunter?

[@markmcarthy596]

@@ericschmuecker348- yes, and ate foraged foods. The infectious proteins can remain in food supplies with no known eradication processes

Isn't cjd from cattle.

I’m sorry for your loss, I wish you and your family the best

[@markservatius8336]

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us know about CJD.

[@heathhenry6083]

Why doesn't MDC talk to different hunter podcasts to help answer questions about CWD, the money, and their management practices?

Hiding CJD comments?

[@thomashalonen4732]

Are some deer resistant to CWD and will never get sick from it when exposed? Over time do you think all deer will be resistant. Is it a case where nature has to run its course?

[@BrantlyFrederick]

I guarantee you that’s how it will be, just a resistance has to be built first

[@user-ei1po7ml2g]

It’s all about the money!

[@summersfamily1]

So man made. Like Lyme?

In nearly 60 years of harvesting deer , I’ve only seen 3 sick animals . Eat it as a constant part of my “diet “ . Never had an animal tested .
