Deer acquire prions, the infectious agents behind Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), primarily through exposure to contaminated environments and direct contact with infected animals. This exposure can occur via bodily fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine, either through direct contact with an infected deer or indirectly through contact with contaminated soil, food, or water. The insidious nature of prions allows them to persist in the environment for extended periods, contributing to the ongoing spread of CWD.

Direct contact between deer, especially during social behaviors like grooming or aggression, can facilitate prion transmission through saliva, blood, or other bodily fluids. Mother deer can also transmit prions to their fawns during nursing or through placental fluids during gestation. The close proximity and frequent interactions within deer populations contribute to the ease of direct transmission, especially in areas with high deer densities.

The decomposition of infected deer carcasses releases large quantities of prions into the environment. Scavengers feeding on these carcasses can further spread the prions through their feces, contaminating new areas. This highlights the importance of proper carcass disposal in managing CWD. State wildlife agencies often recommend specific disposal methods, such as incineration or burial in designated landfills, to minimize environmental contamination.

Research suggests that some deer may be genetically more susceptible to CWD than others. Genetic variations in the prion protein gene (PRNP) can influence the incubation period and the likelihood of developing the disease. Understanding these genetic factors is crucial for developing targeted management strategies.

Tragic, the CPC was so close to winning

our sexbots will blot out the sun

What a cute death beast

Smh I have no original thoughts

Nature is healing

piss beer tho

come back to me when they got beer so dark it tastes like chocolate at 67 cents, then i will book a flight to china immediately

i microwaved my beans

Create a nuclear bomb, the emp shockwave will disable it when detonated

Or shoot it with a paintball gun with or without ball bearings

idk, ive got some hope in me. putting yourself out there and doing positive things is a great way to unfuck your head

Be safe, get tests, and get that tail 🫡

He became classically fascist when he put all the other billionaires on his team. This is the distinction Mussolini himself made, the capitalists must be in the decision making room, no proxies.

i refuse to be outflanked by blahaj lmao. have we acquired the nuclear warheads yet? britannia delenda est

huh didnt know we were, I will bring it up in mod chat

Gotta love how he focuses only on a fraction of the Holocaust victims.
