Pretty common where I live in northern Canada too, caribou head soup is many people’s favorite.

So since it’s known that CJD takes years/ decades to reach the point of manifestation of symptoms, why not follow up with these potentially infected people like, um, in 2018 rather than only 6 years later? Why also publish this article 5 years after the fact? Hmmm

Cornetto.

I have family pretty far up in Norway, lots of tasty reindeer dishes.

The area where I hunt requires CWD testing for elk and deer. You drop the animal’s head by the DOW, and a week later you get the results.

Like someone else said, you want to prevent mixing CNS tissue with the meat. When I see hunters severing an elk in two I wince. Of course, there are the folks who think prions are a made up conspiracy.
