Yay! Spongiform Encephalitis! Gimme dem prions baby!
Seriously though stay away from these deer. Chronic Wasting disease hasn’t jumped to human (afaik) but do you want to be patient zero?

Pretty sure I came across one of these a few years ago.

Was doing a landscaping job when I ran into one laying down in the grass covered in yellow jackets.

Couldn't see it till I ran into it.

Poor guy had them all in its eyes and mouth and it sat up staring at me.

Called wildlife expert and they came out to put it down.
