It is believed that the disease came from a disease found in sheep, called Scrappies. It somehow genetically evolved into CWD. Scrappies is thought to be capable to being transmitted to humans, altho no such cases have been found.....yet. CWD has been shown to have been transmitted to Macaque monkeys, the monkey most closely related to human genes. It has also been shown to be transmitted to mice.....and it has not genetically evolved anymore......yet. You can use your Colorado redneck plan iffin' you want. Not me. I'll trust those who know more to tell me what the risks are.
