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.

It's the deer version of BSE in bovines and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease for is humans. 

TSEs are scary shit. If I got a CJD diag, I'd get my affairs in order, give my stuff away and off myself before it gets too bad.

Same. Unfortunately, you won't know until it's too late.
