Steven Rinella Explains How He Contracted Trichinosis on an Episode of MeatEater

Steven Rinella breaks down how he and several members of the MeatEater crew contracted trichinosis after eating some questionably cooked bear meat on a recently aired episode of MeatEater.
The moral here is this: ALWAYS cook your bear meat to a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit!

Rabbit is usually cooked super long because of how tough it is. Probably why I've never really heard of any problems with it.

Thank you for this video. I have hunted for 30years mostly deer, Turkey, small game , waterfowl , and upland game. I got sick after a dove hunt. I think it must have been a mild case of salmonella or similar. The dog had the birds in their mouths, I handled the birds with bare hands. But I did not consume these birds I gave my limit to another hunter. Symptoms; for about 3-4 days I defecated white stools that had the consistency of a white mucous. No stomach pain or intestinal pains, it cleared up so I didn’t go the Dr. I guess it could have been worse. Also one time I was field dressing a deer and I could see a worm in its guts. I field dressed it and moved on, I assumed it was not in the muscle tissue, I took it to the meat processing plant - which turned it into salami , deer stix and hamburger which I assume killed anything bad as mostly hamburger was cooked well and mixed with beef meat and beef fat. No reported ill affects. Be careful out there people cook wild game well. I am not an expert but I know you can get sick and badly.

[@Ruktiet]

Funny how it appears like it wasn’t a big deal for you guys when it’s considered one of the more severe parasites in medical literature. Thanks for sharing and I hope you fully recovered.

[@JubioHDX]

modern medicine is great lol. anti-parasitic drugs can end all the symptoms but as he said in the video he does now technically permanently have living ringworms in cysts in most of his muscles, they just wont hurt him anymore. in the past before all of the drugs were figured out and for people who dont think to mention to their doctor that they ate a bear a month+ ago it can still be fatal though

[@HKSlapActual]

Do you really have it the rest of your life?

[@lesrach3]

Yes, you do. Once the larva spread new (baby) larva are born in your muscle, and other tissues, in their calcified capsules. Like Rinella said, the only way these capsules can be destroyed is with stomach acid. This means Rinella is walking around with living Trichinosis larva in his body, it's simply not active until their capsules are dissolved... ie Rinella becomes some poor bastards brunch. ;)

[@FearDBro]

idk about that. some cysts dissolved after sometime and nobody have the explanation why. so maybe some individuals have a response to the larva too

Nah, just gotta cook it better. You can only contract it from undercooked meat, if he cooked it good then he would have never got it.
