Wisconsin Faces Deer Die-Off as EHD Outbreak Expands in Washington and Waukesha Counties
TL;DR Summary
More than 700 dead deer have been reported in Wisconsin’s Washington and Waukesha Counties amid an Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease outbreak; the DNR says EHD has been detected in deer near Richfield and West Bend and is spreading via midges, with no known way to stop it—though frost may slow transmission. The virus does not affect humans. Residents can report sick or dead deer to the DNR by link, email, or phone.
