Study tracking people who ate zombie deer meat found no ill-effects, so far

Friday February 22, 2019. 02:09 PM , from BoingBoing
Zombie deer disease is a clicktastic term for chronic wasting disease, a spongiform ecephalopathy suffered by ungulates. Much like Mad Cow Disease, Scrapie in sheep, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease in humans, misfolded proteins slowly destroy the brain, causing listlessness, discoordination, dementia and finally death. Now, what if you were to eat Zombie Deer?
On March 13, 2005, a fire company in Oneida County, New York, fed the meat of a deer that tested positive for chronic wasting disease to 200 to 250 people. The company didn't know the meat was from a diseased deer. Laboratory tests for one of the deer served came back positive for CWD later.... in a study published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Public Health, researchers found the group had 'no significant changes in health conditions.'
The only significant outcome of eating Zombie Deer is subsequently 'eating less venison.'
