“Zombie Deer Disease” Detected Again In Southern State As Authorities Launch Emergency Response Plan

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has detected its second case of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a malady that has a 100 percent fatality rate among deer.

The first case (for 2025) of the illness was detected by the Sunshine State’s neighboring Georgia.

The University of Minnesota reported at the time that it was the 36th US state to report what the academic institution dubbed a “fatal prion disease.”
