What is Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)?
CWD is a 100% fatal disease found in most deer species, including elk, moose, mule deer, and white-tailed deer. There is no vaccine or cure.
As of June 2018, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people, according to the CDC. However, if you hunt in an area where CWD is present, strongly consider having your deer or elk tested before eating the meat and follow these additional precautions from the CDC.
