Deer Fibroma - http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10370_12150_12220-26637--,00.html

[–]chtrchtr_pussyeater 68 points69 points ago

Though they don't harm the meat, fibromas are repulsive to most persons and therefore render a fine trophy aesthetically undesirable.

Can you imagine having that thing mounted on your wall? Dinner parties would never be the same...

    So given the popularity of deer hunting, putting up with a nasty skin infection could be a reasonably decent way of making it through deer season alive. Very tricky, deer. Very tricky.

    [–]scottrot 5 points6 points ago

    Actually deer with deformities like this are usually taken pretty quickly. Most hunters want them out of the herd's gene pool.

          It may sound weird, and I know medical science is still working on all the diseases we have, but it would be sorta nice if we cured this for the deer.

            Similar diseases exist in humans too, which we aren't able to fully treat yet. So we might want to focus on them right now. In the meantime, bullet to the head might not be a bad solution, since I'd guess this thing is genetic (I'm talking about the deer here, not eugenics).

            [–]JoshSN 5 points6 points ago

            It's viral, according to the stuff I read today.

              Its Deer Fibroma, not "radiation poisoning". It isn't a danger to other deer because it is only extremely mildly infectious, but yes I agree it should be shot. It may or may not be in pain, cases vary from deer to deer.

              [–]I_Inhale_Frequently 20 points21 points ago

              extremely mildly infectious

              Wait, what? I somewhat understand what you're saying, but that wording is confusing. Maybe "not very infectious" would be less ambiguous

              [–]rsheahen 21 points22 points ago

                    I believe you're correct. I recall seeing the OP's picture a few years ago attached to an article about deer and fibromas. It was a while back, so I may be substituting a similar picture in my memory, though.

                    I've actually seen a deer with this before. It was one of the more disgusting things I've seen. I thought it was some kind of cancer and it had a huge tumor right on its eye. Here is the picture I took: http://i.imgur.com/2zn4r.jpg

                        Those a tumors caused by the same virus that causes warts. I saw a deer like that on a National Geographic show once and a conservation agent had to put it down to keep them from spreading.

                        It's called "Deer Fibroma". Some deer can become immune to them but other can't and they just get worse and worse like this one.

                        You are actually kind of correct, it is the same type of virus as HPV which causes genital warts in humans. Rabbits also have a condition like this which is why people believe there are jackolopes.
