they carry and spread much more than tapeworms ,when you kill a deer or a elk and it is infested with cysts the size of 50cent pieces and the animal is inedible thank the wolves ..and yes man can catch this disease and it can kill you ...

Up in Isle Royale it is the moose with the cysts, same issue though. Have to filter drinking water down to 1 microns or boil it to keep from ingesting live eggs.

Good article with an excellent fact based argument for exterminating wolves, again. I like Elk meat, kill all the wolves, God will sort it out!

Are Daryl Dixon's dog food sandwiches safe to eat ?

ARTrooper · November 8, 2016

if you cook it long enough it is edible right? so wouldn't cooked parasites just be added protein?

Magwa · November 8, 2016

yes that is what fish and game tells you good it till it dies again but then you have shoe leather unfit for a dog to eat fuk that I want it red in the middle and tender...

ARTrooper · November 8, 2016

mmmm. making me hungry now. sadly sometimes I overcook my food because my wife likes hers well done so often times leave mine on to long as well. she had food poisoning real bad when she was younger.

I use a digital thermometer and a timer. It helps to keep from over cooking meat, and then its safe to eat when proper temp is met.

wild game should never be well done ... pink in the middle is as close as you get without ruining it...

Except bear. Bear in Wisconsin has a high incidence of Trichinosis. One meat you cook the crap out of. Everything else Mag is right.

For me 165 is well done. Sounds right.

Steve Rinella had a whole podcast on it. he and his hunting partner contracted it when they cooked part of a bear in camp after they shot it. The way I under stand it is you can get it from wild hogs too basically any omnivore/ or carnivore can carry it. Instead of one big gross worms you get millions of little ones that burrow In your muscle tissue

true bear and pigs are in the same family you need to cook them well ....thanks for pointing that out

ARTrooper · November 9, 2016

yeah I am told that smoking can cut down on my butchering time for deer a lot too, and use a lot more of the meat also. it always comes down to money though, if I didn't have a family I would have everything I could ever want... well except a hot wife and cute kids. so I guess I will just have to settle with the hot wife and cute kids, and just accept being poor. lol.

I can just take my meat down to shepp and have him cook it for me! :thumbup:

Pork = 160*

jtallen83 · November 9, 2016

In today's commercial pork supply Trichinosis is a very rare to non existent thing. It finds it's way into pork when they root through the soil, todays pigs never set foot on dirt their entire life cycle. The barns they live in are regularly cleaned and disinfected, most commercial barnes have protocols in place that resemble the clean rooms you see with computer manufacturers. A 1 1/2 inch thick Iowa chop done to a pink medium rare is a tasty, juicy, and safe thing to eat.
