So what I learned so far:
1: meat is safe to eat.
2: they are 3 different types.
3: some will fall off after the blood in them dry up.
So my question are:
1: how do they get them.
2: can it spread from one to another.
3: why was this post not have a warning sign on it saying. Rabbit hole awareness

Subcutaneous fibromas (warts) on deer are caused by the same viruses that cause human warts. This means, some will just go away on their own. Some my stay for life. They do not harm the deer unless they get in the way of eating, seeing, walking, etc.
