Episode Details

CWD just got a lot closer to home—North Carolina’s Edgecombe County has confirmed new cases, joining seven other counties already affected. This deadly, incurable disease spreads silently through deer, often for years before symptoms appear, making containment a race against time. Wildlife officials are ramping up surveillance and urging hunters and landowners to help: dispose of deer carcasses properly and join voluntary testing. While no human cases have been linked, experts still recommend avoiding meat from infected deer as a precaution. A critical meeting on August 13th in Rocky Mount will shape new rules—because slowing CWD now could mean healthier deer populations for years to come.
