Hello, Jeff - Talk about mixed signals and CWD 'madness...' NY State and Local health authorities have decided not to follow-up on the health of the people who ate CWD infected deer flesh at a local firemen's feast.
 
Oneida County Health Deaprtment wants anyone whol attendeld the event and consumed the venison to call them or the NY State Health Dept. Oneida County Health Dept. spokesman Fen Fanelli said "the people who consumed the deer did not need to worry about contracting the disease. We want to discuss the issue with them and to reassure them," Fanelli said.
 
Sounds a lot like they want to brainwash them into thinking they have nothing to worry about.
 
However, on the otherhand we are told that an experiment conducted in the year 2000 showed the CWD pathogen has the potential to cause illness in humans in laboratory experiments.
 
Which is it?

Infected CWD Deer Consumed At NY Banquet

VERONA, NY (UPI) -- A deer that tested positive for chronic wasting disease in New York was served and eaten at a function in Verona, health officials said Monday.
 
The deer was served at the Verona Fire Department's Annual Sportsmen's Feast on Sunday, March 13. Chronic wasting disease is a deadly illness similar to mad cow disease that occurs in deer and elk.
 
The Oneida County Health Department wants anyone who attended the event and consumed venison to call them or the New York State Health Department.
 
Oneida County Health Department spokesman Ken Fanelli said people who consumed the deer did not need to worry about contracting the disease, according to the Utica Observer Dispatch.
 
"We want to discuss the issue with them and to reassure them," Fanelli said.
 
However, an experiment conducting in the year 2000 showed the CWD pathogen has the potential to cause illness in humans in laboratory experiments.
 
The infected deer was one of two deer to test positive for CWD in Oneida County in the past week. These are the first cases of the deadly disease uncovered on the Eastern seaboard.
