Chronic wasting disease is a prion disease, which means the proteins in the body are misfolding.

It was first discovered in the U.S. in 1967 and has since been detected in more than 30 states.

The only way to confirm a deer or animal has CWD is through testing.

There is no treatment or vaccine for CWD .
