Prion Disease

CJD symptoms are similar to those of Alzheimer's disease but worsen much faster, often leading to death within a year.

The Chronic Wasting Disease, as it is known, is caused by misfolded proteins known as prions. After infection, prions travel throughout the central nervous system, leaving prion deposits in brain tissues and organs.

'Zombie Deer Disease' also known as Chronic wasting disease (CWD), is a contagious and fatal illness that affects cervids, a group of animals that includes deer, elk, caribou, reindeer, and moose.

The patient was eventually diagnosed with prion disease, and his case has raised questions about whether Covid could have triggered the illness.
