Don't Eat the Kings Deer!

NEW: Two hunters may have become first Americans to die from a ‘zombie deer’ disease - report

Two hunters might be the first Americans to die from a disease called “zombie deer“, according to a recent study.

New research raises concerns over Zombie Deer Disease transmission to humans

Scientists have been saying for a while that this sickness, called chronic wasting disease (CWD), is very deadly and can make deer act strangely, like being confused, drooling, and not scared of people. They’ve warned that it could spread from animals to humans. Now, a recent study suggests that it might have happened already, with two hunters dying in 2022 after eating meat from infected deer.

A 72-year-old man experienced sudden confusion, aggression, and seizures before his health rapidly declined, leading to his death within a month. Doctors later determined that he had Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a brain disorder similar to Mad Cow Disease. Another person, a friend of the hunter, also died from CJD. But there aren’t many details available about their condition in the recent research published in the journal Neurology.

The researchers involved in the study are from Texas, but specific information about where the deaths occurred hasn’t been disclosed
