Michael Chamberlain, a wildlife biologist and director of the Wild Turkey Lab, and Mark Rudd, a veterinary scientist at the University of Georgia, dive deep into chronic wasting disease (CWD). They tackle the realities of CWD, dispelling myths and addressing public skepticism. The slow, cryptic nature of the disease is explored, along with its effects on deer populations and the challenges of live testing. Their discussion emphasizes the importance of preventive measures, given the high prevalence rates and environmental transmission risks.
