American ginseng, sister of the Asian wonder herb and a seasonal cash crop in Appalachia, has two obstacles to long-term survival in the United States: man and deer.

That's the conclusion of West Virginia University biologist James McGraw, who says that since humans aren't going anywhere, it's time to do something about the deer.

In Friday's edition of the journal Science, McGraw says natural, slow-growing ginseng could be extinct within 100 years if deer keep grazing at current rates.
