What are wasting diseases?

Chronic wasting disease mainly refers to a disease caused by some malignant tumors, hyperthyroidism or tuberculosis. This disease will consume the body's substances and energy, affect the body's nutrition and cause a negative balance, often leading to nutritional deficiencies, leading to malabsorption, causing metabolic abnormalities, etc., which is very harmful to the health of the body, will cause a decrease in immunity and induce more serious diseases.

What are wasting diseases?

The first is nutritional deficiency, insufficient nutritional intake caused by poverty, anorexia, and long-term excessive dieting;

The second is poor nutrient absorption, which is mainly caused by digestive system diseases, such as chronic atrophic gastritis, chronic colitis, and chronic hepatitis. In the late stages of these diseases, cachexia and extreme weight loss will occur.

The third is the increase in nutrient consumption, mainly due to tuberculosis and tumors (especially malignant tumors);

Fourth, metabolic abnormalities, mainly endocrine abnormalities, such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes.

Anorexia, chronic atrophic gastritis, chronic colitis, chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors (especially malignant tumors), hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc. Insufficient nutrient intake and poor nutrient absorption are mainly digestive system diseases, resulting in cachexia and extreme weight loss. Increased nutrient consumption, metabolic abnormalities, mainly endocrine abnormalities.

Research has not yet confirmed that CWD can be transmitted to humans. But recent research has shown for the first time that macaques have contracted the disease after eating infected meat. The fear of contracting the zombie deer virus is almost as great as the fear of mad cow disease. Currently, there is no evidence that humans can become infected with the virus by ingesting infected meat.

Although there are no reports of humans being infected with the virus, scientists are studying its distribution and possible evolution. It was previously widely believed that there was a "species barrier" between deer and humans that would prevent the disease from spreading to humans. Given the severity of the current developments, some scientists speculate that it is only a matter of time before humans become infected with the disease. Last spring, Canada's food safety agency said that through extensive disease surveillance in Canada, although no direct evidence was found that CWD could infect humans, this possibility could not be ruled out.
