A member asked:
Are prion diseases more common among people who hunt and eat what they kill? (due to the meat not being tested for disease)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dept of Health: Contact your local Department of Health and ask if prion disease is a problem in your region. It is unlikely it would be infecting your venison.
