Is deer manure safe to use in gardening areas

Question

Just finished your manure composting article and noticed it only contained domesticated animal manures. Are there any wild animal manures safe to use for food gardening?

Answer 1

This would give me pause since you don't know the health of the animal. Chronic wasting disease is a serious problem in deer. Here is what the Center for Disease Control, CDC has to say about transmission of this horrible infectious disease: https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/transmission.html
