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

[@danielt.3152]

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.

[@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

I'm surprised that a professional hunting guide would make the HUGE mistake of letting him and his clients eat poorly cooked bear meat. The trichinosis parasite problem was discovered in 1835 and is widely known to be linked to meat from bears and other animals. In 1835, two men by the names of Sir Richard Owen and Sir James Paget were working in a laboratory in London. Sir Paget was just a first-year medical student at the time, and was under the direction of Sir Owen during an autopsy. Both of the gentlemen observed the mass of worms that lined the diaphragm of the cadaver. With his scientific excitement, Sir Paget decided to collect some of this tissue to observe the worms a bit more closely. However, without alerting his student, Sir Owen, decided to report to the zoological society in London about the findings of this new parasite, providing its present day name. What is interesting is that the day after the discovery, Sir Paget decided to write to his brother about the new scientific observation. If this was not the case, the discovery of Trichinosis would be credited to only Sir Owens. Source: Stanford University. web.stanford.edu/group/parasites/ParaSites2001/trichinosis/

If that ever happened again you should do a saltwater flush. The salt will make you shit like crazy but will kill parasites. Its like a tablespoon of salt in a quart of water. Drink it slowly over the course of 15 to 20 minutes. Then follow it with a quart of pure water. There are a lot of videos on youtube that explain salt flush....but for other reasons. Try to always use the pink Himalayan salt...or Celtic. But salt definitely kills worms, pathogens, and other parasites. However interestingly enough...the salt does not harm your beneficial bacteria.

David Sunderland nothing wrong, just make sure you cook it properly. It's the same reason you cook pork to a higher tenperature

[@pokerface9432]

Just make a stew man or cook the steak to welll-done. That will kill the parasites.

Ok got. Now the worm stuff you took is for animals or prescription from doctor???? In a pinch could a person use animal worm stuff???? Also can these things stay in your body and keep hatching months later or weeks after initial curing of ones self????

The stat "over 90% of cases in the US come from black bear meat" is misrepresented here. The study he refers to mentions that 91% of cases involving meats other than pork are traced to black bear.
