[00:00:00]If you ever see a deer just standing in the middle of the road staring at nothing drooling, don't go near it. It might be a zombie or more accurately it might have zombie disease or chronic wasting disease.

[00:00:14]And right now it's in over 31 US states.

[00:00:17]It attacks the brain, turns deer into hollow drooling stumbling animals with no fear of humans. They don't eat, they don't sleep, they just walk until they die.

[00:00:29]The scary part? Scientists [music] believe it's caused by prions, misfolded proteins that cannot be killed. Not by heat, not by radiation, not by disinfectant. They can stay in the soil for years and no, there's no treatment, [music] no cure.

[00:00:47]The CDC hasn't confirmed human cases yet, but prion diseases can jump species like the mad cow disease and every year Americans eat over 7,000 deer from CWD zones. This is real, it's spreading [music] and most people have never heard of it.

[00:01:04]Follow if you want more facts [music] that keep you up at night.
