It isn\u2019t going away. It\u2019s only getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>Many people aren\u2019t aware of CWD, or simply don\u2019t understand the full breadth of the threat it poses. Most researchers believe CWD is caused by an abnormal protein referred to as a prion. Once contracted, it is an always-fatal disease that thrives in the nervous system of cervids (deer, elk, reindeer and moose). It can be passed on through saliva, urine, feces, spinal and brain fluids, etc. Similar diseases affect other animals such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) which is also referred to as Mad Cow Disease. It\u2019s also found in sheep, known as Scrapie.
