Maybe this has been discussed already, but Univ Texas health science centers just announced they’re studying cases of 2 men who developed rapid onset CJD (sister disease to CWD and mad cow). It’s Very rare (my father in law died of it Alabama and UAB never identified how he contracted it - he did eat venison and his brain was donated to research). Both men in Texas had eaten deer in an area known to have CWD. They’re concerned it’s “made the jump” to humans just as mad cow did when CJD was labeled in humans. My father in law’s was rapid. He was 63 and got lost on his way to work to a job he worked at for 30 years. He was dead 6 weeks later. He was in and out of memory lapse but he was diagnosed while he was in a coherent state so he knew what he had and he had about a week to get his affairs in order. Scary.
