    Scientists fear 100% fatal 'zombie deer disease' is evolving to
    infect humans in forests across America

    The killer disease leaves animals confused, drooling, stumbling
    and listless

    'If we saw a spillover right now, we would be in free fall,'
    said an expert

    . . .

    Well, HAVE we seen a "spill-over" ???

    If we had, we'd have HEARD about it. Instead I think
    we're listening to SPECULATIVE HYPE DESIGNED TO SPAWN
    PANIC AND MAKE MONEY FOR THE DOOM-SAYERS.

    Prion diseases CAN affect humans, sometimes. "Mad Cow"
    disease and "Kuru" are the most notable. MOOSE also
    can get a similar brain-destroying prion disease -
    cases have been seen for many years now.

    FYI - "prions" are mis-folded versions of normal
    biological proteins which can actually catalyze
    the "proper" variants to spontaneously switch
    to the defective form. At minimum, the prions
    kind of "jam up the works", but they might be
    more overtly toxic. Biology might partially use
    them, they get passed along the metabolic/functional/
    structural chain, but at SOME point the bad shape
    stalls things.

    So, are we to "trust the science," or take the advice of someone who
    can't decide if they're 68g.509 or 68g.505?
