If it were just two middle-aged and elderly women who were having sex, Zhang Zi'an wouldn't bother to listen to it. He would have to be so bored that he would listen to those gossips about parents and families? But the middle-aged woman mentioned CDC later, which made him feel like a god.

“Where is cdc…?”

The old lady who speaks Cantonese very much was confused. She may be the type of immigrant who has lived in China for most of her life, and after her children settled in the United States, she brought her over to reunite her family. For example, elderly immigrants as old as they are basically unable to change their lifestyle for most of their lives, and it is unlikely that they will learn a new language.

But in fact, there is nothing. Even if you don’t recognize a single English letter, Chinatown can fully meet all life needs. Whether it is food, use, clothing, legal or illegal, you can find it here. It is almost a country in the middle of the country. As long as there is no need to drive, it is completely OK.

For example, this old lady, after immigrating to the United States, her lifestyle is no different from that in China. She buys groceries, cooks, walks and plays mahjong, and watches Chinese TV programs. She spends 99% of her time in Chinatown, ignores the outside English world, and only considers it to be non-existent, and does not care about the news of the outside world. As long as there is no global war, her peaceful daily life will continue until she dies.

When she heard the word cdc, she didn't understand what it was.

"Grandma, don't you know yet? CDC is the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A while ago, a doctorate was interviewed on TV, saying that some disease is spreading in deer in North America now, and this disease may also be transmitted to people! It is said that if you eat venison, it is best to eat venison that has been quarantined through regular channels." The middle-aged woman explained patiently.

"Oh, how amazing? Is it like that, avian flu?" The old lady was half-believing and half-doubted. She looked at the middle-aged woman, then looked back at the venison, and was still a little reluctant to let it go.

The middle-aged woman spoke Mandarin, and the old lady followed her and spoke Cantonese Mandarin.

"This... sister, I accidentally heard you just now, what disease is the deer?"

Zhang Zian interrupted with a thick face.

The middle-aged woman looked at him and saw that he was not like a suspicious person wanted by the Homeland Security Bureau, nor was he like a clerk. She looked friendly with both Chinese, so she replied: "I can't remember the specific name. You can find it by looking online, what is the name of "ematuria or diabetes."

"Oh, thank you." He thanked him and took a few steps back to the corner to show that he would no longer listen to the conversation between the two.

The middle-aged woman continued to advise the old lady not to buy venison.

It is definitely wrong for diabetes. He took out his mobile phone to search for the keyword "ematuria + deer".

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.

When did this disease start to spread quietly in the North American continent?

A while ago, he was very busy. Whether it was a trip to Egypt, a worm scourge, or a stray dog ​​scavenging behind him, he had no time and time to pay attention to news on the other side of the ocean. After all, it was only 24 hours a day, so it would be nice to have the energy to pay attention to local and domestic news in the coastal area.

He searched for relevant reports and browsed them simply, but did not read them in detail. After all, this is a butcher shop with people coming and going, but after reading them, he immediately felt enlightened. Many mysteries lingering in his heart finally revealed a corner of the answer.

The so-called deer wasting disease, referred to as cwd, is a disease that is very similar to mad cow disease. It is currently mainly spread on deer and is called mad deer by some people because it is mainly used to spread in deer. Because the deer is as aggressive as rabies in the later stage of the disease, it is also called a zombie deer by the public because of its movements and expressions and expressions of the deer are like zombies in the movie.

The culprit of Crazy Deer disease is not an ordinary virus or bacteria, but a prion protein. As long as it comes into contact with normal proteins in the organism, it can lead to normal protein allosterics and convert them into prion proteins.

The most annoying thing is that this prion protein is extremely tenacious, like a tiny little hero that cannot be beaten. It cannot kill it at a high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. It is also resistant to radiation and ultraviolet rays, and has extremely strong resistance to common disinfectants.

As long as you are infected with this prion protein, there is currently no medicine that can reverse the condition.

As of January 2019, 24 states in the United States and two provinces in Canada have reported the discovery of Crazy Deer. You should know that there are only 48 states in the United States, which means half of the country has been captured by Crazy Deer.

Not only that, the mad deer disease has spread to North America, and cases have been found in reindeer and moose in Norway and Finland. Even South Korea, which imported a large number of antlers, was affected. Fortunately, these three countries are limited in area, unlike the United States, which has millions of square kilometers of land to toss.

Some species of deer are accustomed to long-distance migrations. For example, thousands of wild reindeer in the Nunavut region of Canada will migrate periodically under the followers of wolves, making controlling the mad deer disease extremely difficult.

There are too many forest parks in the United States suitable for deer herds to survive and reproduce, and forest parks are often very close, even connected together. Deer herds can migrate from one park to another without realizing it.

What is even more troublesome is that mad cow disease and mad deer disease are just two of the many masterpieces of prion proteins. In addition, there are sheep scrapie, ferret infectious encephalopathy, and cat spongy encephalopathy. These animal diseases are collectively called infectious spongy encephalopathy.

Several similar diseases have been found in human populations, including mad cow disease that is transmitted from sick cattle to humans. Relevant studies have shown that mad deer disease of similar nature can infect primates, such as monkeys. In theory, humans can also be infected, but no cases of mad deer disease have been found.

The super vitality of prion protein allows it to withstand conventional disinfection methods such as high temperature steaming and cooking. The temperature of cooking and soup at home is absolutely impossible to kill prion protein.

The spread of mad cow disease back then was caused by feed manufacturers making the meat, brain and internal organs of sick beef into feed to feed normal cows. Disinfection methods during feed processing were also unable to kill prion proteins.

The suspicious points in his heart finally slowly connected with each other. The meat powder with unknown ingredients in Leshi dog food... I'm afraid it wasn't it made of venison?

High-priced venison is impossible, and it must be cost-effective, so it is likely to be a high-risk deer brain, powder ground into the internal organs and bones containing the spinal cord.

As for why manufacturers dare to do this... they can only guess that it is because the scientific community has not yet discovered infectious spongy encephalopathy in dogs, so the manufacturer believes that it is okay to make venison into dog food and feed it to dogs.

But what has not been discovered must not exist?

If sheep, cow, cat, ferret, monkey, human, and other animals that are not related to horses and cattle may be infected, can dogs and coyotes, be immune to their own lives?
