[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 415832, member: 337"] It's not necessarily the glyphosate itself directly causing the illness, it's the potential for glyphosate to bind metals that usually tie up the prions or some other tricky backdoor way of enabling of prions to become "infectious". Or the potential for the glyphosate to reduce a deer's ability to resist infection in some as yet unknown mode. Maybe the glyphosate (or other ag chemical) is a key factor - but it's not able to stricken a deer on its own. It only enables it if the other factors are primed for it. Local conditions (soils, temps, water sources, plant types, and a million other factors) might be at play. It seems to fit - why else would this herd in this particular location be in BIG trouble while others aren't? Are they only getting their water from a certain groundwater reservoir or surface body of water? That type of thing. If it's the case that certain other factors have to be in line for glyphosate (or other bad actor ag chemical) to be the poison pill, then use of that chemical itself isn't going to track directly with the prion infection rate - but it'll be the new variable that nature wasn't expecting in some areas far more than others. I totally agree with a ban on burning down crops with glyphosate. Madness IMO. [/QUOTE]
