The fatal neurological disease of deer, elk, and moose is caused by infectious, misfolded proteins called prions, the same type of problem that causes mad cow disease.

There is no cure for prion disease, it is freaking terrifying and invariably fatal. Please nobody in that area hunt deer until it is completely gone.
