New findings on chronic wasting disease only add emphasis to points that the state Department of Natural Resources (and we) have made before: Don’t eat meat from an infected deer. All animals killed in an area where the disease has been found should be tested.
In November, researchers at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., and the University of Wisconsin-Madison said they had found that the disease could infect squirrel monkeys, a member of the same biological order as humans.
