Do not be alarmed by animals covered in ugly warts.

The Lower Similkameen Indian Band (LSIB) has issued a statement to inform communities that a whitetail doe, near Chopaka, has been identified as having Papillomas, which creates warts.

Humans cannot catch this disease, so there is no risk to the public. However it can spread to other ungulates including elk, moose, goat, sheep, horses, cows, and pigs.

The warts can grow as large as a baseball.
