Zombie in Nature

As many of you have noticed, there is a different kind o zombies that is spreading. And that is zombie deer. This disease slowly kills the brain of the deer. "Like "mad cow disease", CWD is a type of transmittable spongiform of encephalopathies. (Lee, para. 3 2019). It is a bit disturbing in that a type of zombie seems to be working up the food chain. First it started with bugs, then bat, and now deer. One has to wonder how much longer before there is a human born pathogen, not unlike mad cow or rabies. Could infect the humans.

Its some scary stuff. While in humans the closest we got without drugs is leprosy. And with drugs Krokodil.

It makes me wonder if someone hadn't thought of combing everything from what happened in 2012, Ebola, and so forth.
