Studies show digestive tracts of predatory cats destroy CWD prions

Chronic wasting disease prions are the Chuck Norris of infectious materials. Incinerating them at 1,112 degrees will only slightly degrade their infectivity, and you must hit 1,800 degrees to destroy them. They are just fine left out in the environment for years, outside an animal host, without losing infectious potential. They can even survive a trip through the guts of coyotes and crows and still infect deer. It’s tough to kill something that isn’t really living to start.
But we can now lengthen the short list of things that destroy CWD prions.

Adams Lake in south-central Adams County is located one mile north of West Union on State Route 41. It’s roughly 70 miles from Cincinnati, 100 miles from Columbus, and 35 miles from Portsmouth. The easiest route is from the Appalachian Highway (St. Rt. 32) and taking St. Rt. 41 south at Peebles.
Adams Lake is surrounded by the nearly 36-acre Adams Lake State Park and the adjoining 20-acre Adams Lake Prairie State Nature Preserve.
