These possible diseases include:
Lyme disease: This is a bacterial infection that is transmitted to humans through tick bites. Ticks that feed on infected deer can carry and transmit the bacteria to humans.
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD): This is a prion disease that affects deer. The disease can spread through direct contact with infected animals or through contact with contaminated soil, food, or water.
Ehrlichiosis: This is a bacterial infection that is transmitted to humans through tick bites. Ticks that feed on infected deer can carry and transmit the bacteria to humans.
Anaplasmosis: This is a bacterial infection that is also transmitted to humans through tick bites. Ticks that feed on infected deer can carry and transmit the bacteria to humans.
Tularaemia: This is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals or their carcasses. Deer can be carriers of the bacteria that causes tularaemia.
Tuberculosis. Deer are very susceptible to this disease and can pass it onto cattle with devastating effects on a landowners herd.
So, it is important to take precautions if handling or coming into contact with deer, such as wearing gloves and washing hands thoroughly after handling deer or being in areas where deer are known to inhabit. Managing deer populations through ethical and sustainable methods can help to prevent the spread of these diseases and minimise the risk of transmission to other animals and humans.
