Warning about the “zombie deer” disease

Last week, the first case of the “zombie deer” disease was detected in Yellowstone National Park; In the last few hours, a servant in Tennessee also tested positive, so U.S. authorities issued alerts.
The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) warned hunters that they could inadvertently introduce chronic wasting disease (CWD) “if they bring home deer carcasses or parts from outside New York or use natural urine products containing chronic cachexia prions.”
That’s why he recommended “boning” animals hunted outside of New York and avoiding natural urine products.
Also, the Georgina Division of Wildlife made a precautionary move of animals hunted out of state.
In Lewis County, Tennessee, on Monday, wildlife officials confirmed the first positive case of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a farmed deer, reporting that the disease affects the nervous system of deer, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk and elk.
In addition to making it known that the disease is spread by body fluids, contact of these with contaminated soil, plants, food or water.
