Two hunters who were members of a hunting lodge in a western state have died from Cruetzfeldt-Jacob’s disease, which they apparently got from eating venison from a CWD prion-infested deer. But you can’t prove it because the disease, known as TSE, (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy) is found in cattle, goats, sheep and elk. Maybe they ate a goat together? Can’t have a panic about this when it can cause hunters to stop buying deer tags. A few years ago, Carol Schroeder, from Camdenton, told me that her husband had died from the disease known as Cruetzfeldt-Jacob’s disease in a St. Louis hospital in a quarantined room. After his death the Center for Disease Control took control of his body it was taken to the crematory by a highway patrol escort to be sure that if any accident occurred on the way his body would not be handled by unknowing first responders.
