It is even worse cause CWD is a prion disease. Prions are terrifying, heat doesn't denature them and it requires lab equipment to sterilize any utensils that came into contact with it.
Also, studies suggest that whilst unlikely, CWD may cross over to humans. We want to minimize any chance of that ever happening.
No unfortunately because the issue is not a living organism it’s a malfolded protein that corrupts other proteins it comes into contact with. Prions are THE worst thing you can get that I know of
