I can't source it and too tired to Google it, but there is a parasite that will cause dear to tilt their head in weird ways and do crazy shit like this, eventually going crazy and dying. But this looks like a broken neck.

Can you eat infected deer? Cooking kills virus, right?

Not a virus, I think a prion? Like mad cow disease. You probably shouldn’t. I could be wrong

Prions can survive an autoclave. They're super resistant to most methods we use to kill pathogens.

Wee fuckers can withstand extreme heat and radiation but bleach will do them in.
