EHD Outbreak Claims Dozens of Wisconsin Deer | Milwaukee News

Wisconsin’s deer population is facing a deadly outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease, with 80 to 100 deer dying since late July—mostly in Washington County. Spread by biting midges, the virus kills deer within days and poses zero risk to humans. The DNR urges residents to report sick or dead deer (not roadkill) via email or phone, including location and contact info, to help track the spread. With frost on the horizon, officials hope it will curb midge activity—and remind us how nature’s hidden forces shape wildlife survival.
