MOPanfisher Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 There have been documented cases of CJD from eating squirrel brains, however as of yet no cases are documented from deer to humans. There is however I believe a case of CWD transmission from contaminated venison to a macaque monkey.

BilletHead Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Lets put this into perspective by chances of dying of other things. First off yearly in the us there are maybe 350 cases a year of Creutzfeldt -Jakob desease. Smoking related deaths. 443,000 in the US annually and 55,000 from secondhand smoke. I will eat lean healthy wild meat! Then we have this little factoid of other causes of death. I think I will continue not to smoke and stay well within my weight range, Heart disease 631,636 1 in 6 Cancer 562,875 1 in 7 Smoking-related deaths 433,000 1 in 9 Stroke 135,952 1 in 28 Obesity-related 112,000 1 in 35 Heavy drinking 79,000 1 in 49 Breast cancer 40,598 1 in 95 Prostate cancer 29,093 1 in 133 Fall 22,631 1 in 171 Assault 18,361 1 in 211 Brain tumor 13,000 1 in 298 Car accident 12,772 1 in 303 Skin cancer 8,461 1 in 457 Pedestrian accident 5,958 1 in 649 Motorcycle accident 5,024 1 in 770 Bicycle accident 820 1 in 4,717 Airplane accident 550 1 in 7,032 Flu 411 1 in 9,410 Lightning 46 1 in 84,079 Legal execution 40 1 in 96,691 Earthquake 26 1 in 148,756 Fireworks discharge 10 1 in 386,760 Deadstream 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

fishinwrench Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 If you've ever even walked alongside someone who was smoking a cigarette then they'll claim you died from second hand smoke .....but yet you can stand over a barrel of burning trash 3 times per week, or spend months burning leaves and brush, and the term second hand smoke never gets mentioned in the autopsy. I find that utterly amazing. 🙄 If you ever see a "health professional" with blue or green eyes, it's because he/she is currently a quart low. Daryk Campbell Sr and JestersHK 2
Johnsfolly Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I know that I will likely have little risk of contracting it from squirrel brains since there ittle brain matter left if I shoot well enough. I don't think that @BilletHead will have an issue either. He shoots better than I do 😁.
duckydoty Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Wasting lots of good meat by shooting in the head. You got the cheeks and the tongue that add up to way more than you would get from the ribs. When I was 4 eating squirrel, biscuits and gravy with my grandpa, I asked him for the wish bone. He gave me a chunk of fried squirrel and I commenced to gnawing on it. I came to an ear and told my grandpa. He said eat around it. I came to an eye and told my grandpa. He said eat around it. I came to some teath and told him. He said eat around them. I came to the tongue and told him. He said, give me that. That’s the best part! tho1mas, BilletHead and nomolites 1 2 A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
fishinwrench Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 If you're digging the brains out of animals so you can eat it......then there was something already bad wrong with you before you ever ate them. Smalls21, liphunter, Greenheadrocker and 1 other 2 2
