Creuzfeldt
-Jakov disease is Mad Cow Disease. It is caused by prions in the brain. Prions are misfolded proteins, and they cannot be broken down by heat, so they will still be there after you cook the meat. Don't eat venison, I'm sorry to say. Unless no deer have been found in a 1000 mile radius from where you live that are carrying the Mad Cow prions. Kind of a chance. And, most importantly, this disease may not show itself for many years, even decades. Not worth the risk.
