And sometimes the bear gets revenge if you eat him.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep. It can happen.

Next time I eat bear meat, I’ll make sure it’s well-done and not medium-rare, and I’ll wash it down with a shot of Maker’s Mark to pickle any bugs that survive the cooking.

Rare bear meat. Mmmmmmmmm. 😵 How dumb can people get? Were they trying to be wild gourmets?

[VTenigma]

” and the worms ate into his brain”

Veggies.in same roaster with meat. Heat was not enough to kill larva. Larva get out of meat and contaminate everything in roaster.

"The CDC warns that adequate cooking is the only reliable way to kill trichinella parasites and that infected meat can cross-contaminate other foods."

Sounds like they were cooking veggie kebabs along with the bear meat kebabs. Yuck.

I guess I won’t be serving walrus meat tartare anytime soon

[VTenigma]

Him too.

[MeanWestTexan]

Exactly what I thought.

The cookbook of man (Torah) tells us what we should eat, and what to avoid. Don’t eat dogs, cats, bears or pigs. Don’t eat crabs, oysters, shrimp or lobster either. For that matter, no catfish or croc. Eat what eats vegetables or grains, not what eats carrion.

Anyone want to know what happens if you throw a human body into the ocean? Crabs tear it to shreds...YUMMY. Throw one into the pig pen, it is devoured to the bone.

Was it us boo boo?

I diagnosed a young man at an urgent care in Alaska who was infected with trichinosis from eating undercooked grizzly bear meat in the mid-1980’s, He damn near died, dropped 100 lbs of muscle, and had to change careers from construction to a desk job. It is a terrible disease. And remember, walrus must ALWAYS be well done!

Here’s a link to the report...

What’s interesting about the report is what’s not in it.

No mention of which species of Trichinella...

In the CDC report.

Go figure.

I had delicious bear stew a few years ago at a church potluck. Wouldn’t have eaten it if it hadn’t been boiling in a crock pot for many hours.

[minnesota_bound]

Note, never eat bear meat and never let a bear eat me.

[Gaffer]

Yep....freezing won’t kill that stuff..... just heat, and that means no ‘rare’.
