Two hunters become first Americans to die from Zombie Deer disease after eating infected venison.

Two hunters may have become the first Americans to die from a ‘zombie deer’ disease.

Experts have been warning for years that the nearly 100 percent fatal chronic wasting disease (CWD) – which leaves deer confused, drooling, and unafraid of humans – could jump from animals to people.

But a new study theorizes that it has already happened – in two hunters who died in 2022 after eating contaminated venison.

One of the victims, a 72-year-old man, suffered ‘rapid-onset confusion and aggression,’ as well as seizures. He died within a month.
