Johnny Loco....the guy that shows the crazies just how they look to others. Keep on shooting that sass.

As for your question, CWD is spread when an infected animal passes infected prion proteins to another animal. Kinda the same principal as all diseases.

Just think, how did you get the flu? Never got the flu? How did you get herpes? Deer can get it all those possible ways with the added twist of prions don't die outside the body like the herpes or flu virus. If a deer spits on the ground, dies, poops, etc. those little prion proteins can infect other deer for decades.

CWD can also be spread to other mammals, prion diseases are more of a disease of mammals rather than a single species.

I know you know all this but gosh you keep asking.


Quack quack.
