Symptoms of fluorosis described for cattle and other domestic animals appear to be similar for those observed in fluoride-intoxicated deer. A study of fluorosis in black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) has revealed that deer exhibit dental and osseous lesions whose severity increases with increasing levels of fluoride in the tissues. The major pathway of fluoride intoxication of the population is through fluoride contaminated browse. Greatest exposure to fluoride occurs during the winter months when browsing is confined to a few plant species with high fluoride levels.
