borch Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 These men died about 10 years ago. At this point the idea that they died due to eating CWD tainted venision is pure conjecture. If the men got the illness fron a deer they shot wouldn't other family members(who likely ate venison from the same deer)have suffered the same fate. As far as Jacobs disease, WI has 5-6 cases a year on average. This may be just a coincidence. Picks disease(which the third man had) is not related in any way to CWD. Here's CNN's article on it from yesterday for those interested. http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/08/03/wasting.disease.ap/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
