A few years ago I chanced upon a magazine article (can’t remember the publication - sorry) reporting that some university in the upper mid-west had discovered syphilis in the fossilized remains of a bear that died 7000 years ago.

Syphilis can be spread by blood transfusions, so I presume eating raw bear meat can infect a human.

Bear meat can also carry trichinosis.
