Contagious Disease Found in Michigan Deer: How Homeowners Can Keep Deer Away With Bird-X Humane Animal Deterrent Products
CHICAGO (PRWEB) October 19, 2018 -- The disease found in Michigan deer was brought to light over twenty years ago in 1994, when a white-tailed deer infected with the disease was shot by a hunter. This was the first time since 1975 that a deer with this disease was discovered after being shot by another hunter. Michigan is the only state in the nation that has bovine tuberculosis present in wild deer.
According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), about 900 deer as of July 2017 have tested positive for this disease. Although uncommon, the disease can be contracted by humans through these infected deer.
Homeowners and business owners with heavy foot traffic or perishable goods should keep wild deer off their properties whenever possible to avoid contact with the disease.
