Chronic Wasting Disease Explained: What Are Prions & Can It Spread to Humans? 🦌

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a neurological disorder affecting deer and other cervids, caused by the abnormal growth of a misfolded protein called a prion. This prion causes healthy brain proteins to become abnormal, leading to a range of symptoms. CWD is particularly concerning because it has the potential to affect both animals and humans, with the possibility of transmission through the consumption of infected meat. <br /> <br /> <br /> #ChronicWastingDisease #ZombieDeerDisease #Prion #CWD #PrionDisease <br /><br /> ~HT.178~PR.151~ED.155~GR.125~
