And saying they shot infected material up a deers nose is disingenuous. Kind of shows how you have to resort to exaggerating to prove your point. In the study, 2 fawns received 50 ml of infected deer saliva. The study aimed to prove transmission routes. An unlikely amount in the wild yes, but it showed it spreads via deer spit. “The presence of infectious CWD prions in saliva may explain the facile transmission of CWD. Cervid to cervid interactions especially in high density and captive situations would be expected to facilitate salivary cross contact”. Lunk, the actual study (<a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1132661" target="_blank">https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1132661</a>) also shows that some deer genotypes had prolonged incubation periods. But still to date there has not been a deer that has demonstrated and immunity to CWD. Not even “Dr Deer”, who those at war with NDGF hail as their general. Look into that guy and how he travels from state to state peddling his snake oil. ND hunters are just his latest audience. Funny, a commercial deer farmer fighting tooth and nail against CWD information. Sounds familiar. Follow the money…</blockquote>
