EHD Outbreaks Are Killing Deer in Three States
Original: EHD Outbreaks Are Killing Deer in Three States. Here’s What to Know
Outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease, a viral illness spread by biting midges, are killing white-tailed deer across three US states. Hunters and wildlife watchers are being urged to recognize symptoms such as fever, swelling and lesions near water sources, and to report dead deer to state wildlife agencies. The disease cannot spread to humans, but it often causes significant seasonal die-offs among deer herds.
Why now: Hunters and outdoors communities are concerned as the outbreak coincides with the fall hunting season.
