    I don’t think enough people are eating venison regularly for a this prion to be a serious threat even if it manages to transmit to humans

      Deer arent eating venison regularly enough to explain the rate of its spread among deer.

      Its moving through them someplace else. Which means if it jumps to us, its moving through us someplace else too. And we dont actually know for sure how its moving through them.
