The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

83%

Examples:

  • Researchers reported the 72-old man died within a month of initial presentation of symptoms despite aggressive symptomatic treatment of seizures and agitation. A postmortem diagnosis confirmed the disease was sporadic CJD with homozygous methionine at codon 129.
  • The poster concluded it is possible sporadic CJD cases may occur in regions with confirmed CWD infected deer populations which could be indicative of potential cross-species prion transmission.
  • The research reported a 72 year old man with a history of consuming meat from a CWD infected deer population presented rapid onset confusion and aggression.

Two Cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Raise Concerns About Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer and Human Health

Broke On: Thursday, 18 April 2024 Two hunters and a 72-year-old man, all from the same CWD-infected deer population, were diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and died. These cases raise concerns about the potential link between Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer and human health. While further investigation is needed to determine causation, the CDC advises against consuming meat from animals that have tested positive for CWD.
