Mercilessly lethal, CWD is not only incurable, but the associated rogue proteins, called prions, that cause mortality leach into soils and persist as a disease menace long after dead animals have decomposed on the ground.
So CWD has always been around? What happened to the theory it was caused from certain protein blocks being fed to cattle? Does anyone really know? The excuse I keep hearing is it is so expensive to do tests.
