Scientists fear 100% fatal ‘zombie deer disease’ will mutate to infect humans

Oh, deer.

Scientists are sounding the alarm over the spread of “zombie deer disease” amid fears it may evolve to infect humans.

Late last year, experts confirmed Yellowstone National Park’s first case of the infection — officially known as chronic wasting disease (CWD) — after a deer carcass found in the Wyoming area of the park tested positive to the highly contagious disease.

Cases have been now reported in deer, elk and moose in 33 states across the U.S., as well as in Canada, Norway and South Korea.

The same scientists who said that couldn’t be possible. This is litterally the first step to zombies in so many zombie movies
